Senor Lenardo

He not only was a fine ventriloquist, but he had another talent. During War II as he entertained all over Europe, he did espionage for the US. Who would think that a ventriloquist could gather information for Uncle Sam?

My mother was very proud and happy when she was booked on the Orpheum circuit from  Los Angeles to Boston. The Toni Madison dog act was a headliner in the show.

The Vent

This is a mystery photo found in my mother’s scrapbook. No name or show, but it has to be the 1800s. By the looks of the dummies, maybe the 1880s.
