I was watching an old Mickey Rooney movie in which he did impressions of old time entertainers including one named Harry Lauder. I had never heard of him and so I did a Google search. It seems that Mr. Lauder was one of the most successful entertainers at the beginning of the last century. He would command the equivalent of about $35,000 a night and was the first person to sell over one million records. It is surprising how he would fall out of current history. But then, I have 30 year old grandchildren who have never seen Casablanca. I wonder how many of today's younger generation would have no idea of who Humphrey Bogart was?
