Tragedy
Clark and McCullough had completed their last series of comedies in 1935, and McCullough returned to Massachusetts. McCullough's 1936 visit to a barber shop turned tragic when he grabbed a razor and committed suicide. Clark was forced to pursue a solo career; he appeared in Samuel Goldwyn's 1938 musical comedy The Goldwyn Follies, and reestablished himself on Broadway as a solo comedian in such revues as Streets of Paris and Mexican Hayride. Clark continued to appear on stage and television into the 1950s; he died in 1960.
