Two-part vaudeville bill at the Willard: first half — Bert Gordon (dialect comedian) in "The Boy Scout", Amerique and Neville in a song-and-dance revue, Leon and Dawn in "Kids Is Kids", Leonid Martov (Russian baritone), and Thelma Arline and company (trapeze/rope act); second half — "Frolickers of 1930" (a 19-person musical-comedy revue unit), Claude and Marion in "Still Arguing", and the Three Melvin Brothers (gymnasts).

    Source Amerique and Neville — CWB source ephemera [7deba71147]media:2114 has no field_clip_date. 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.
    Why Venue 'WILLARD' not otherwise identified (no city given in OCR); left unlocated rather than guessed.
    Reasoning The clipping is a contemporaneous theater-page bill listing, not a retrospective, so it dates the actual booking. Two independent clues bound it: the unit revue's own name, 'Frolickers of 1930', places it in a season running roughly from autumn 1929 through 1930; and Bert Gordon's still-small-time billing here (rather than as a Broadway name) is consistent with the period before his October 1930 Girl Crazy breakout. Neither clue gives an exact week, so I bound the claim to that combined window rather than asserting a single month.
