Lamb started out in vaudeville, where his act featured a wonderful assortment of trick props. He then used that same format for a harmonica act, which he took across the United States and to most European countries before World War II.
A change of course
Lamb had business interests beyond entertaining: he owned a New York restaurant and held a part-ownership stake in a New York company that made theatrical props.
