EWT) hasn't always been funny. By his own testimony, he started out as a dramatic actor and shifted to comedy, later, because he studied Shakespeare. Shelton was born on the Bowery in New York City. He says that his early impressions of that colorful, noisy, down-at-the heels section did a great deal to enrich his sense of the comic. He didn't start out as a comedian. He didn't even think of the stage as a career, in fact. His first job was as an apprentice printer. He wasn't even interested in the theater, until his family moved to Brooklyn and he got a chance to see some shows in the local stock companies. Somehow, that led him to take up a serious study of the works of William Shakespeare and he found himself keenly interested, especially in the bard's comedies. Soon, his head began to be full of ideas about the stage as a career. One day he saw a want ad in a theatrical paper he'd taken to buying. It was for a dramatic actor to work in a tent show in Iowa. Shelton took all his savings and went out there — and got the job! From then on, he played everything from drama to blackface comedy and even sold medicine on the side. But his soaking in Shakespearean satire never left him and, eventually, he devoted himself exclusively to being a comedian. When the first World War broke out, George enlisted. Armistice Day, he recalls, he was cooking pancakes in the trenches. He became a member of the Army of Occupation and formed a unit which toured Germany entertaining the doughboys, topping off a war record of eight major campaigns and two citations. Incidentally, during this war, he's been presented with several medals and awards for his work in entertaining service men. When George finally got back to the United States after the last war, he went to work in vaudeville. It was there that he met Tom Howard, with whom he has been associated ever since. They toured in vaudeville together and appeared in numerous Broadway musicals and several motion pictures, as a team. They did several stints on radio before but they feel they've really found their niche since teaming up with Lulu McConnell and Harry McNaughton for the It Pays to be Ignorant show. Shelton lives in Hempstead, Long Island, these days and spends as much time as he can out there, puttering around with carpentry and general handiwork. For relaxation he says you can't beat baseball — he's a Dodger fan from way back (need you ask?). He doesn't miss Shakespeare at all, any more.
