  Gallagher and Shean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gallagher and Shean was a highly successful double-act on Vaudeville and Broadway in the 1910s and 1920s, consisting of Edward Gallagher (1873 - March 28, 1929) and Al Shean (real name Albert Schoenberg) (May 12, 1868 - August 12, 1949).
Gallagher and Shean first paired up during the tour of "The Rose Maid" in 1912, but they quarreled and split up two years later.
The case claimed that Gallagher and Shean's act was "unique and irreplaceable." The comedians' defense was that their act was a mediocrity and the judge initially found in their favor, although the decision was later reversed.
