Boxing Day

W. C. Fields died on December 25th.  Somehow that seems appropriate.

For a guy with such a famous voice, he rose to prominence as a dumb act.  He was one of the top jugglers in Vaudeville and later Broadway.  He was best known for his work with cigar boxes.  Eventually he started talking.

Some of his movies feature his routines.  The best example is in The Old Fashioned Way (1934).
