Fred Bonny

Originally from New Orleans, Fred Bonny was a song and dance man who worked in minstrel shows and in vaudeville for over forty years. With his wife, Pauline Freeman, they performed as "Bonny & Freeman," described as "exponents of the ULTRA TANGO DE LUXE and the Poetry of Terpsichore," and traveled the world. In the 1920s, Bonny was a member of the "Shuffle Along" Company and continued to act and perform comedy routines on various venues until his retirement just before America entered World War II.
