Dear David Natale,
My name is Jacob Boas, the author of Boulevard des Miseres, born in Westerbork..I'm writing a kind of 'memoir'. Johnny and Jones appear in one of the shots of the Westerbork film. Do you have any idea as to when, i.e., the date on which that particular routine was performed, and as part of which revue? I imagine they did not sing in German, although German was the lingua franca on stage.
Thank you.
Jacob Boas
