MINI BIO:
Breezy, beaming, black-haired, Broadway-based comedian who never quite made a home for himself in films, even though he made many more movies than most people realize. In vaudeville as a boy, he also made appearances in silents as a child actor, before making a name for himself on stage, radio and, especially, television, where he was phenomenally successful in the late 1940s and through the 1950s with his own show, when his wit and geniality shone through even poor material and had him dubbed "Mr. Television" or "Mr. Tuesday Night." His latter years were mainly spent on the nightclub circuit, although he continued to do sporadic but typically extrovert cameos in films.

J. Algernon Hawthorne: Look, wherever they are, surely the most sensible thing for the two of us to do is to press on. I mean for all we know, your brother in-law may be out or away somewhere. And even if he were the first to be there, he still has to find the money, hasn't he? Now I earnestly recommend that we forget your good ladies and press on with all possible dispatch.
J. Russell Finch: [mockingly] Alright, we'll press on with all possible dispatch.
J. Algernon Hawthorne: And I don't really think that personal rancor is going to help the situation. If I may say so.
