CAMERA INTERVIEWS - THE ARNAUT BROTHERS THE FAMOUS MUSICAL CLOWNS
After watching the above video please click the title of this post to be taken to video from NBC and the DuMont Network's Admiral Broadway Revue starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca in 1949.
Starting at the 8:00 mark, please enjoy Rene and John Arnaut's presentation of the Nightingale Entree, the only version that I've ever seen that doesn't make me cringe.

Jango Edwards in 1972!!
It seems that this routine goes back to the Russian Skomoroshniki, wandering troupes of comic entertainers. Every Soviet folk troupe (Moiseyev, Omsk, etc.) included this number in their presentations. This one really takes the cake. This is one of the most polished of all comedy routines I've ever seen. I wonder if Ward Hall knows how to make the warbling whistles?
