I believe that at one point during the 'teens, on Broadway, Ernest Hare was  his understudy.

Definitely vaudeville and minstrel shows, long before he ever  started recording. He finally got to Broadway in 1911. Films were way off in  the future for him - he was a recording star by the time he appeared in his  first film.
