Charley Noble:   THEODORE was a truly intellectual performance artist (prior to the use of that term). I have seen him from the 50s on. He made many appearances on early Letterman programs.   Performed till he was about 92 and died at 94. I interviewed him at his apartment for my program back in 1997. I still feel priviliged and lucky that this came about. A man with a wonderful history and a very tragic life.

I am sure that at Halloween I shall play an excerpt of his material on TRADITIONS--which I co-=host with Ron Olesko.

You might Google Brother Theodore to get a memorial page with his bio.

His bizarre tales held many nuggets of truth and insight into the human condition..
