BiographyHistory

In 1920 the Fullers' brought US comedians George Ward and Charles L Sherman to Australia as a vaudeville act. The following year they began touring their own revusical company - known both as Fullers' American Revue Company and the Ward-Sherman Revue Company. Among the company's best known members were Les Warton, Harry Burgess, Mabelle Morgan, Curly Sherwood, Winnie Trevail and Ivy Moore. After Sherman left the company in 1924 his role was taken over by Hebrew comedian Bert Le Blanc. The troupe then became known as the George Ward Revue Co (and later the Wall of Mirth Co).
