Sammy Howard Defies Jockey Dream To Shine In Scandals
Sammy Howard, star of the George White Scandals at the Fair theater, recalls his early wish to be a jockey. After betting two dollars on a last place horse, his religious father steered him toward acting. He joined the Bell Hop Trio, then found fame on musical comedy stages with Oscar Hammerstein’s help. His brothers Willie and Eugene are also well known on the musical stage.
