An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Two Zephyrs were a black African American comedy duo comprised of Slappy White and Clarence Schelle from the 1940s. They appeared on radio's The Major Bowes Amateur Hour, and TV's "The Morey Amsterdam Show". We don't know what happened to Clarence Schelle, but Slappy White went onto a long successful career! He partnered with Redd Foxx in the Chitlins Circuit of stand up comedy in the 1950s. In 1969, he partnered with Steve Rossi, one of the first integrated comedy duos, but they broke up in the 1970s, due to Mr. White's drug problems. He rebounded strongly, performing stand up in Las Vegas shows, and he was a frequent guest on the Dean Martin comedy roasts! He passed away in 1995 at the age of 74. Important Added Info: Note that this still contains far and away the earliest image of Slappy White we have ever seen, when it was performing in his first successful act, as one half of the "Two Zephyrs"!
