It seems, on inquiry, that Jimmy Hussey is probably one of the best-known figures on the American stage, having appeared in vaudeville for years and years. But we, who do not get around much, never happened."
  2. ^ American Cloak and Suit Review - Volume 17 1919 p 147 Fourth on the program was Jimmy Hussey in a military playette called "Somewhere" in Vaudeville." Mr. Hussey was assisted by his partner, William Worsley, and the two made a tremendous hit. Jimmy Hussey, as practically everyone knows, is one of the headliners on the B. F. Keith circuit.
