Weber and Fields Now Live Quietly in New York
Longtime duo Weber and Fields, famed for Dutch dialect burlesque, aged Lew Fields 70 and Joe Weber near 70, lived quiet lives in New York after a career spanning burlesque, Broadway music halls, and vaudeville. The piece recalls their early rivalry, reunions, and later decline as audiences shifted to smart humor.
