Though the members have ceased pressuring him to smoke up, sniffing rubber cement until he passes out has been set as a precondition of his admission...

Born to vaudeville folk, he played straight man to a talking mule in six popular Francis movies and won an Emmy for an early TV series. In the Make 'em Laugh number in Singin' in the Rain, he made mock love to a cloth dummy, did backflips off a wall and then hurtled through it--still smiling--in the greatest comic dance solo in film history...
