The duo sang and performed comedy routines. They were Vaudeville stars and made appearances in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1919, 1920 and 1921. They made numerous phonograph records for the Emerson, Victor, and Columbia record companies.


They performed as part of radio shows and together they appeared in a Metro Movietine Review in 1929 and in 1930 appeared in the film They Learned About Women.
