Bud Abbott and Lou Costello performed at the El Rancho Vegas having show-goers in stitches, with various routines like "Who's on First". The two met when they were solo acts on the burlesque circuit. they made 37 films, with One Night in the Tropics 1941 credited with saving financially troubled Universal Studios. They last performed for the last time together in 1957. Costello died in 1957, Abbott in 1974. I have a picture of them will try and post in a day or two. I loved their movies, never saw them in person
