External: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Gordon_(comedian) states his 'big break came in 1930 when performing in the George and Ira Gershwin musical Girl Crazy' (Broadway opening Oct 14, 1930) — before that he was a small-time vaudeville comic, matching his billing here as one act among several unnamed ones, not a headliner. The second-half unit 'Frolickers of 1930' is a year-named revue package, a naming convention (like 'Scandals of 1930') that typically toured from roughly the preceding autumn through the named year.
