This performer started out in the theater as a chorus girl in 1919, and worked mostly on the stage, unable to get film roles until getting help from "The World's Greatest Entertainer" of the 1920s. Who was this Hollywood star?

NTA. Keeler started as a chorus girl a few years later (and even then she had to lie about her age). |

Cagney and Joan Blondel. They were starring in Penny Arcade on Broadway. Jolson bought the rights and sold them to Warner, only insisting the film star Cagney and Blondel

Who else but James Cagney? Well, Edward G. Robinson could have tried, but I don't think he had the legs for it. Correct! And a fetching little dame he made, too, except for the muscly upper arms.
