Mousie Garner, also known as 'The Grand Old Man Of Vaudeville', is a legendary comedian-musician and a true national treasure. He is literally the only headliner from the glory days of vaudeville still performing. He is also the last surviving member of comedian Ted Healy's Stooges. Today, Mousie remains one of the hardest-working men in show business, although he no longer gets slapped, poked and punched on a daily basis (he gave that up at age sixty-five). Mousie, who recently celebrated his 75th anniversary as a professional entertainer, is still performing before live audiences in his nineties. Mousie made his stage debut as a child in 1913, singing, dancing, and imitating Al Jolson in a family musical-comedy act developed by his father. While still a child, Mousie entertained soldiers during World War I. And by the the time he was a teenager in the 1920s, he had already decided upon a career on the vaudeville stage. Garner was part of Ted Healy's new stooges after the departure of Howard, Fine and Howard. Briefly in the 1970s Garner joined Curly Joe DeRita and Frank Mitchell in an unsuccessful, and short lived act known as 'The New Three Stooges' (Moe Howard allowed DeRita to form his own stooge act after Larry Fine suffered a stroke.). In addition to big-time vaudeville, Mousie also appeared on Broadway and in major national touring companies; in short subjects, feature films and documentaries; on network television, cable and radio shows; and in nightclubs, auditoriums and concert halls. Serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, Mousie was shipped overseas and he achieved the rank of Technical Sergeant before completing his hitch. He participated in the Allied forces' North African Campaign, and was injured twice on duty. He received several commendations, including The Purple Heart. After his stint (and after he recovered from his wartime injuries), Mousie joined the U.S.O. to star in their touring company of Olsen & Johnson's Helzapoppin. The show was staged for servicemen throughout Europe during the Allies' post-war occupation. Mousie is represented on the Hollywood 'Walk of Fame' via his association with musical parodists Spike Jones and His City Slickers. Mousie enjoyed stints as lead performer in both of these unforgettable comedy ensembles. He appeared as a 'guest of honor' at the star-unveiling ceremony for The Three Stooges in 1983. Mousie Garner has announced his semi-retirement date as July 31st, 2009 - his 100th birthday!
