Their first big break was at Hammerstein's Roof Garden in New York City. Following their first appearance in London at the Alhambra Theatre, Rotary Photos published a series of photo postcards featuring them two of which are seen here. They had a long-standing run at Coney Island, toured the world, and even allowed the pblication f an almost uselessly small portion of their code, to further confuse their fans.
