John Dunning Quote
There is a tendency today to dismiss vaudeville comedy as unsophisticated and even simplistic. Burns himself often apologized when he quoted verbatim from old routines: This doesn’t sound like much now was usually the tone. But those fascinated by the history of show business cannot but be entertained. Gracie’s singing in the shows of the ’30s adds an element totally missing from the later run. In the sitcom years it all changed: the lines were perhaps funnier, but the comedy was somehow more predictable.
