Fields, W C

W. C. Fields (born January 29, 1880, died December 25, 1946) was an American juggler, comedian, and actor.

Pirate is descirbed as undertaking a routine in which 'he will actually skip to and fro, with his knees high and twirling a walking stick with W.C. Fields' head, nose, top hat, and all, for its knob, and surely capable of magic'.1
