Charles Cane
Biography
Charles Cane was a singer and vaudeville performer who became an American character actor. He moved to New York around 1920 to study voice and made his Broadway debut in the 1924 revue Artists and Models. He spent more than a decade in vaudeville, much of it in a duo with Gracie Deagon, and later worked as a master of ceremonies. In 1934 he appeared in the Vitaphone short Come to Dinner, then returned to performing in 1941 with a touring production of William Saroyan's The Time of Your Life. That stage work helped launch his screen career; he was perhaps best known for Bells of Capistrano (1942). He appeared in several films with Bill Bendix, including Don Juan Quilligan (1944), Duffy's Tavern (1944), and The Dark Corner (1946). He also took part in USO shows during World War II and died in 1973.
