  • Jack Pearl, born Jack Perlman, was a vaudeville performer and a star of early radio. Pearl portrayed a character he created, Baron Munchausen, very loosely based on the Baron Munchausen literary character. As the Baron, Pearl would tell far-fetched stories with a comic German accent. When the straight man (originally Ben Bard, but later Cliff Hall) expressed skepticism, the Baron replied with his familiar tagline and punchline: "Vass you dere, Sharlie?" This catch phrase soon became part of the national lexicon. Typical of the dialogue: Hall: You seem to be effervescent tonight. Munchausen: Haff you effer seen me ven I effer vasn't? Pearl played this character and others in musical revues of the 1920s and 1930s: The Dancing Girl (1923), Topics of 1923 (1923-1924), A Night in Paris (1926), Artists and Models (1927-1928), Pleasure Bound (1929), International Review (1930), Ziegfeld Follies of 1931, Pardon My English (1923) and All for All (1943).
  • Jack Pearl, fue un actor de vodevil y estrella de los primeros años de la radio. Su verdadero nombre era Jack Perlman, y nació en Nueva York. Pearl ganó fama con la interpretación de un personaje creado por él, Baron Munchausen, muy libremente basado en el literario Barón de Münchhausen. Como el Barón, Pearl contaba historias rebuscadas con un cómico acento alemán. Cuando su compañero serio (originalmente Ben Bard, y más tarde Cliff Hall) se mostraba escéptico, el Barón replicaba con la frase "Vass you dere, Sharlie?", la cual llegó a formar parte del léxico del país. Pearl interpretó este personaje y otros en revistas musicales de las décadas de 1920 y 1930: The Dancing Girl (1923), Topics of 1923 (1923-1924), A Night in Paris (1926), Artists and Models (1927-1928), Pleasure Bound (1929), International Review (1930), Ziegfeld Follies of 1931, Pardon My English (1923) y All for All (1943).
