Mr. Hubert.

What educational background do you have?

Mr. Crowe.

High school graduate.

Mr. Hubert.

And immediately after leaving high school, I suppose you got into the entertainment business?

Mr. Crowe.

No; well, yes. I started during right before the senior year, and then I went into the service for 3 years after high school.

Mr. Hubert.

I see.

Mr. Crowe.

In 1951.

Mr. Hubert.

So it was after you left the service that you entered the entertainment field?

Mr. Crowe.

I continued with the entertainment field. I did it while I was in the service also.

Mr. Hubert.

You did it there also; I see. Have you ever had a partner in any of your acts or entertainment endeavors?

Mr. Crowe.

No; not really.

Mr. Hubert.

Can you give us by way of description what sort of entertainment act you have done in the past?

Mr. Crowe.

Primarily a ventriloquist; also do a little standup comedy, impressions.

Mr. Hubert.

Can you name for the record some of the places that you have played in--is that the professional term--or appeared in?

Mr. Crowe.

Well, I have been over a great part of most of the United States and around Germany, and Western Canada and Eastern Canada. Like the T-Bone Supper Club in Wichita. Let's see, the Larue Supper Club in Indianapolis, the Orchid Club in Tulsa. Club dates in Seattle, Washington, Atlanta, Georgia, New York.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, I suppose that you have an agent, don't you, who does your booking for you?

Mr. Crowe.

Several agents. Depending on what part of the country.

Mr. Hubert.

You are also a member of the--

Mr. Crowe.

American Guild of Variety Artists.

Mr. Hubert.

I suppose they have a record actually of every show or place that you have been don't they?

Mr. Crowe.

I would imagine possibly they do.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, have you developed any particular specialty of late?

Mr. Crowe.

Well, I have several gimmicks, I call them, that I feature in my vent act. That would 'be about all.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, I think you were playing at the Carousel Club in Dallas shortly before the death of President Kennedy, isn't that correct?

Mr. Crowe.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

Had you ever been there before?

Mr. Crowe.

Three times before.

Mr. Hubert.

You have. Would you state the times that you have been there, just roughly the approximate times, and the approximate length of each stay?

Mr. Crowe.

Let's see, about April of 1962 I was there for 2 weeks, and then I was gone for about 7 weeks, came back for 3 weeks, and was out for maybe a month. Came back for 4 weeks, was gone for about a year, and 2 months, and came back for 6 weeks.

Mr. Hubert.

When did you come back to the Carousel the last time?

Mr. Crowe.

About the 1st of November.

Mr. Hubert.

Was that booking done by yourself or some agent of yours?

Mr. Crowe.

Well, it was more by myself but it was a club that belonged to an agent of mine so I paid him a commission to keep on the interest.
