Clark and McCullough

Most two-reel comedies were either slapstick or situation comedy. There were few variations from this pattern, among the few who trod their own path were Clark and McCullough.

Boyhood friends, Bobby Clark and Paul

McCullough got their early training with

minstrel troupes, in the circus (as clowns),

in burlesque, and in vaudeville.

By the time they hit Broadway in the early 1920's they were experienced comedians: Clark shooting out rapid-fire dialogue,

sporting "glasses" which were painted on his face, and wearing a hat that looked as if it should say "Press" on it.

McCullough wearing a raccoon coat, a

ten-gallon hat, and a toothbrush mustache.

Many compared their style of mayhem to

that of the Marx Brothers.
