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.

Famous quotes containing the word tragedy:
“You can write anything you want to,—a six-act blank verse, symbolic tragedy or a vulgar short, short story. Just so that you write it with honesty and gusto, and do not try to make somebody believe that you are smarter than you are. What’s the use? You can never be smarter than you are.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those who feel.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“The great tragedy of science—the slaying of a beautiful theory by an ugly fact.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
