Jack Cameron (born Jacques Kammerer; November 2, 1883 – September 25, 1956), also known as Jack Kammerer, was an American actor, singer, and acrobatic comedian whose career spanned almost five decades.[1] He appeared in vaudeville, burlesque, film, radio, and television. Cameron was best known for his vaudeville performances, first as part of the Kammerer & Howland musical comedy act, and later as a principal comedian on the Keith-Albee circuit. He appeared in several motion pictures and could be heard on WPRO (AM) radio as the “Singing Salesman.”[2]
