Title
Walter Winchell Gang: On the Sidewalks of New York
Description
Photograph with caption: "On the Sidewalks of New York. In a 1910 Gus Edwards skit, Winchell appeared with Eddie Cantor, George Jessel and a number of other urchins, as shown above. A hard-hitting bodyguard now accompanies Winchell, who has been socked on several occasions, once by Al Jolson, who alleged a Winchell movie scenario reflected on Ruby Keeler, Jolson's wife... Among Walter's close friends is Ben Bernie, the orchestra leader. The two recently made a picture, "Wake Up and Live," for Twentieth Century-Fox. The off-guard pictures on this page were made on the movie set.
