"He was the greatest soft shoe dancer in the business," rasped Jimmy today. "A good friend put up some money for him and he bought into our club." The act became Clayton, Jack son and Durante. The trio be came the sensation of those roar ing speakeasy days. Then in 1931 the act broke up when Jimmy received a movie offer from MGM. Clayton Dies In September, 1950, Clayton died of cancer with Durante at his bedside. Jackson stayed with Durante and appears on his TV show and his nightclub act. Two years ago on a live TV show Eddie and Jimmy danced again with' Clayton va the mov ing spotlight. Saturday night they repeated the bit because Jimmy wanted it on one of his filmed NBC-TV shows.
