Paul Brothers kee
BY TIM CUMMING
Expositor Editor
When the Paul Brothers begin
telling jokes it's hard to keep up
with the pace.
How many miles have you
travelled?, the entertainers are
asked.
"Wait a minute 'til I look at my
speedometer," says Geny Paul,
lifting his heel and looking at the
sole of his shoe.
Once the two song -and -dance
men get going it's pretty hard to
stop them (or get a word in edge-
wise), admits brother Leon Paul.
Onstage, Leon is the quick wit as
Gerry adds an appropriately funny
expression or hilarious sight gag.
Backstage, however, the other
brother shows he's pretty quick
himself.
In an interview after the show
Gerry recalls that he served in the
Canadian army for four years dur-
ing World War II.
"How else do you think we won
the war?" he says with a slight
smirk. When it's pointed out that he
doesn't look as old as his 75 years
he quickly retorts that "I can't help
it if I look young and virile!"
The two brothers, who hail from
nearby Kirkton, performed their
fast -paced routine of comedy and
music to the assembled local ser-
vice clubs during Seaforth's
Brotherhood Night on Feb. 24.
The two brothers grew up in
vaudeville, having descended from
the original Paul Brothers (their
father and uncle, who had come
from Britain).
"They were pretty good too," says
Gerry, while Leon, without missing

Although they have performed
professionally since 1945 they
played local garden parties and
strawberry festivals as children. The
two vaudeville performers have
come a long way since then.
The lifelong Kirkton residents
have played before crowds in every
province of Canada and their rou-
tine has been seen on television in
Nashville. They have presented
about 7,000 shows over the years
and worked with Tommy Hunter
and Gordie Tapp and also enter-
tained Canadian troops during the
war in Korea.
Some of their jokes are corny and
some of them are real stinkers but
they're delivered with such glee and
rapid-fire delivery it's hard not to
laugh out loud. The boys change
costumes quicker than one can spell
L -A -U -G -H -T -E -R. One minute
they are dressed as women or fire-
men, another minute they're in the
green of Robin Hood's outfit and
moments later they're cornball
'Astro -nuts.'
Today the duo performs with
Leon's wife of more than 40 years,
Shirley. Before Shirley joined the
act their mother was a big part of
the show for years.
"She taught us all we know," said
Leon of his mother, who is 99.

"Just like me!"
For many older spectators the
Paul Brothers & Shirley bring back
nostalgic memories of a long -lost
time.
"We take them back to the good
old days," notes Gerry.
Reports of vaudeville's death
have been greatly exaggerated, it
seems.
"We're so busy now we can't
keep up with it," said Leon. He said
it makes them feel good when their
shows are enjoyed by the audience.
Even young people, who might
never have heard of George and
Gracie, enjoy the shows of the Paul
Bros. who are playing to a third
generation of fans.
"It's so old it's new to them,"
smiles Leon, who is 70.
Last Thursday was the first time
in five years the act performed in
front of an all-male audience and '
they were a little bit saucy to suit
the crowd. They were also a little
bit sentimental, singing 'I wish we
were 18 again.'
During their performance they
poked a little fun at firefighters
while Seaforth Fire Chief George
Garrick sat in the crowd being a
good sport as he took in every little
joke.
At the end of the show a pile of
costumes backstage pay testament
to the fast -and -furious pace of their
routine. Even with the grey hair
they're still boys, however.
"I have to pick up (after them),"
smiles Shirley.
Leon Paul will be hosting the
Harmony Kings' barbershop show
