Description: ROSCOE ATES AUTOGRAPHED SIGNED SMALL PHOTO Roscoe Ates — also billed as Rosco Ates (1895 – 1962) was a vaudeville performer, actor of stage and screen, comedian and musician who who transitioned into western films and television. He is remembered by many as western character Soapy Jones, and for — like Mel Blanc’s Porky Pig — his stuttering. His career began as a violinist, at first accompanying silent films at a theater in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Following that experience, he worked as a concert violinist but found opportunities greater as a vaudeville comic, appearing as half of the team of Ates and Darling. For 15 years, he headlined on the Orpheum Circuit, and revived his long-gone stutter for humorous effect Theater and personal appearancesOn Broadway, Ates appeared as James McCracken in the musical comedy Sea Legs (1937).And, in the late 1930s, Ates made a personal appearance tour in Scotland and England.
