W.C. FIELDS

Timelessness of W.C. Fields Art and Humor

The Mormon’s Prayers (1928).

Long before the Tony Award winning The Book of Mormon, there was The Mormon’s Prayers on Broadway. Never before in the history of Broadway did a star’s name appear above the producer’s. But in 1928, on the marquee W.C. Fields' name appeared above Earl Carroll’s Vanities.

W.C. Fields respected the works of Charles Dickens so much that he did not change or ad lib any words in The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, & Observation of David Copperfield the Younger (1935).
