Singer and actress DALEY (1915-1975), born Catherine Dailey, began her career in show business as a band vocalist, and her zany comedy made her a popular attraction in nightclubs and on the radio (Daley was a regular on The Fitch Bandwagon, for which she was voted radio's most popular comedienne). Daley made her feature film debut in 1942's The Fleet's In (1942), and she went on to appear in such films as Star Spangled Rhythm (1942), Duffy's Tavern (1945), Variety Girl (1947), Ladies' Man (1947) and Norwood (1970, her last film). Daley also made guest appearances on the small screen on The Bob Hope Show (1954) and Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre (1964). Daley died in a freak accident, bleeding to death after stumbling over a glass coffee table and severing her jugular vein on a shard of glass. Comedian CHASE (1901-1983) appeared in vaudeville and in three Broadway musicals: Ziegfield Follies of 1925 (1925), Ballyhoo of 1930 (1930-1931) and High Kickers (1941-1942). He was also in demand on such TV shows as Toast of the Town (1951), Cavalcade of Bands (1951) and The Tony Bennett Show (1956). One of his final appearances was as a replacement performer in the original Broadway production of Sugar Babies (1979-1982). MORGAN ASHTON appears to be associated with the Seven Ashtons, a travelling Australian acrobatic troupe that was popular in the U. S., Great Britain and Europe; REVA ASHTON and DOUGLAS ASHTON were two of the acrobats.
