| Abbott (right) & Costello |
In 1930, Harry Abbott was known as "Silk Hat Harry Abbott" and headlining a song and dance review at the local Gayety Theatre. Lou Costello was doing a comedy act on the same bill. There they met John Grant, Mutual Burlesque chain executive. He persuaded Bud Abbott to include Lou Costello in his Revue. After many great performances in Buffalo, they became known as "ABBOTT & COSTELLO"!
