Pierre LaVallee, once physical director at Toronto and Fargo colleges, left show business with a cash bundle and turned to newspapers before joining The Tribune as a mechanical export.

The Tossing LaVallees are booked for Wonderland in Minneapolis and Winnipeg, with potential Nash circuit contracts after Bijou shows.
