THE LATE ROBERT SCOTT'S "CHRONICLES OF OLD VAUDEVILLE"--- A POSSIBLE NUGGET OF INFO

As some of you may know, this was something that the late Robert Scott was working on before he died and to our knowledge never progressed further than a working outline. He had apparently collected the names of several Vaudeville acts of some reputation including one "daredevil" team, the details of which were never revealed, and all were supposedly associated with or lived in Croton.

He never got to write this, and we've been making inquiries in the hopes of finding out more.

A possible nugget of info has come in:  a former neighbor of his believes that most of the acts were associated with the shows put on at Croton Point in the 20's.....but that's all he remembers.....

Stay tuned!!!!!! A reader is on the hunt! 


And Yes, Bessie Browning lived in Harmon---somewhere---for some time---but there's nothing showing that she performed at the Point; see more about Browning at EverythingCroton: BESSIE BROWNING, "THE VIVACITY GIRL", HER HARMON-ON-THE-HUDSON CONNECTION
