He was a genuine star who had a brief film career.  However, he found himself in the middle of a military draft fracas when he was required to report, but could not be found.  Contino served in the military but was persecuted in the headlines as a “draft dodger”, even though he was not. When honorably discharged from the Army, he performed for fifty years and was the most frequently included guest on the “Ed Sullivan Show”. Photo c. 1950https://accordionamericana.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/father-with-daughters-vaudeville-1920s.jpgFather with Daughters Vaudeville 1920's A father and daughters act c.1920's https://accordionamericana.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/regine.jpgRegineRegine Chassange shreds on the accordion as a member of Montreal's Arcade Fire.
