Photograph article dated February 12, 1964 partially reads, "Joe Brown is the vitality-filled young man who recently opened his intimate Prestar Theater in North Hollywood. Appearing there these weekends in a revival of the perennial "Burlesque," Brown stars as a baggy pants comic who goes on to Broadway success but finds he can't cope with it. He pulls it off because he's lived the theater for 39 of his 42 years. Literally born to the business (his parents were married after a matinee at the Hippodrome), Brown has 18 Broadway shows, nearly 40 movies and hundreds of radio and TV shows to his credit."; See images #00117348 through #00117351 for all photos in this series.
