has abstract	George Dewey Washington (1898–1954) was an American singer active in vaudeville and motion pictures from the 1920s through the 1940s. He was a baritone or bass-baritone who often appeared on stage in the guise of "The Gentleman Tramp". He was sometimes compared to Al Jolson. Before he became a professional entertainer, Washington worked as a waiter in railroad dining cars, often singing amid noises of the train. Washington appeared in a number of short films for M-G-M and Paramount Pictures from 1928 to 1932, the early years of "talkies", including some of M-G-M's first musical shorts. At one point, he played three weeks in a row at the Paramount Theatre on Broadway. He was described at the time as a "hot favorite" with a "sympathetic voice [that] goes straight to the heart" and that is "well adapted for the talkies". In 1933, Washington performed on Broadway in Strike Me Pink, which was "staged as an epic review of black history. Night clubs in which Washington performed include the California Theatre Club in San Francisco and the Club Casino in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
