BiographyHistory

Following Charles L. Sherman's departure from the Ward-Sherman Revue Company in late 1924, George Ward established his own troupe, bringing in Hebrew comedian Bert Le Blanc as his off-sider. Initially called the "all-star" Snapshot Revue Co, and later known as the George Ward Revue and the Whirl of Mirth companies, it toured up until late 1928/early 1929 with a repertoire comprising old Ward-Sherman revusicals and new shows written by Ward (often in collaboration with others in the company).

Among the performers engaged by Ward were Carlton Chase, Ern Delavale, Kathleen Ward, Curly Sherwood, Lily Vockler, Winnie Edgerton, and Grace Savieri.
