Coverage?[edit]

This article needs some research and coverage of DeRita's pre-Stooge career (something for which I don't have the time right now....)

The section on DeRita teaming up with Frank Mitchell and Mousie Garner to perform a Three Stooges routine in nightclubs conflicts sharply with the testimony given in the bio of Mitchell. Here, it is stated that the act was broken up due to poor response by audiences. There, it is stated that it enjoyed great success and only ended due to DeRita's failing eyesight, which is not mentioned at all in DeRita's bio. This conflict needs to be resolved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.158.218.179 (talk) 19:35, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
