dbo:abstract Willie Howard (April 13, 1883 – January 14, 1949) and Eugene Howard (July 7, 1880 – August 1, 1965), billed as the Howard Brothers, were Silesian-born American vaudeville performers of the first half of the 20th century. They were two of the earliest openly Jewish performers on the American stage. After performing in amateur night competitions, the brothers began separate professional theatre careers. Soon they were appearing together in burlesque and vaudeville, where, over the course of a decade, they established their reputation. The brothers were hired by the Shubert family in 1912 to perform in a series of successful revues on Broadway over the next decade called The Passing Show. These were followed by another popular series of Broadway revues in the 1920s and 1930s called George White's Scandals. They appeared in a few additional Broadway musicals, notably Girl Crazy. In between these Broadway seasons, the brothers continued to be in great demand on the vaudeville circuit and made a few (mostly short) films. In the 1940s, Willie continued to star in revues and musicals and to perform in vaudeville and night clubs. (en) Willie Howard (13 avril 1883 - 14 janvier 1949) et Eugene Howard (7 juillet 1880 - 1er août 1965), plus connus sous l'expression Frères Howard, sont des artistes américains de vaudeville de la première moitié du XXe siècle, d'origine silésienne. Ils ont été les deux premiers artistes ouvertement juifs de la scène américaine.[réf. nécessaire] Après s'être produits dans des compétitions amateurs de spectacle nocturnes, les frères commencèrent des carrières séparées. Rapidement, ils apparurent ensemble dans des pièces burlesques et de vaudeville, où, en l'espace d'une décennie, ils réussiront à établir leur réputation. Les frères ont été embauchés par la famille Shubert en 1912 pour se produire dans une série de revues sur Broadway appelée Le Passing Show durant dix années. Ils ont poursuivi par une autre série de revues populaires de Broadway dans les années 1920 et 1930 appelée George White's Scandals. Ils sont apparus dans quelques autres comédies musicales de Broadway, tel que Girl Crazy. Entre ces saisons à Broadway, ils ont continué à être très sollicité sur la scène du vaudeville et quelques films (souvent des courts métrages). Dans les années 1940, Willie tient toujours le premier rôle dans des revues et des comédies musicales et fait des numéros dans les vaudevilles et dans les boîtes de nuit. (fr)
