"Documented by professional photographers throughout their career, the exhibition represents a look at Block and Sully as a working couple in an entertainment industry that was evolving from vaudeville to movies, radio, and eventually television."

"As a family of entertainers, vaudevillians paved the way for what we know today as the entertainment industry. Touching all of our lives, the bonds of this industry are characterized in the exhibition by many affectionately inscribed photographs."                                          Exhibition Statement by Richard Mitchell
