York and King

Most of Rose King's theatrical career was in partnership with B. M. "Chick" York. Their most famous and durable vaudeville act was "The Old Family Tintype". The team dated its inception at 1907, although their relationship dated from early childhood. Billboard Magazine published an old photo of York and King posing together, at the ages of five and three, respectively.
York and King created many amusing vaudeville routines, and developed an international following. They headlined many vaudeville bills in the United States and England.
In 1935 they starred in two short-subject comedy films produced by Educational Pictures in New York: Domestic Bliss-ters and How Am I Doing, the latter featuring their famous vaudeville sketch "The Sleigh Ride". King appeared solo in a character role in Educational's 1938 comedy Love and Onions.
