His stage successes included The Fascinating Widow (1911), written for him, in which he played the dual role of Mrs. Monte and Hal Blake; The Crinoline Girl (1914); and Cousin Lucy (1915). He continued working in vaudeville from 1918 to 1927 and also starred in several silent motion pictures. Women admired his wardrobe and were his greatest fans.
