North traveled around the US with the company playing in small town opera houses or theaters for one- or two-night stands.

[3] These include a part in 1909 in the Emmerich Kálmán operetta The Gay Hussars, and a straight role in 1910 in the play Just a Wife.

In one number he acted as a Jew in love with an Irish girl, and sang My Yiddisha Colleen to Shirley Kellogg.

The song illustrates the common stereotypes and ethnic humor of the period, with verses like "I'll jig and Irish reel each morning, if you'll dance Kazotski ev'ry dawn ... And I'll even kiss the Blarney stone, if you'll change your name to Maggie Cohn.

"[4] North closed the second act of the Follies of 1910 with a solo performance of the Gus Edwards song The Waltzing Lieutenant.

[7] In 1911 North and Cliff Gordon were managing the Columbia Theatre on Broadway, one of the Eastern Burlesque Wheel's houses.

"[8] The Merry Whirl was very profitable, but on August 12 it was announced that it would end its run in New York and "proceed over the regular Eastern Wheel route assigned to it ... much to the regret of the house and the management.

[13] Due to the stress of traveling with a pregnant wife and a young son, North turned to making films in 1915.

[3] Along with, L. Lawrence Weber, Aaron Hoffman and Harry J. Cohen , North organized Popular Plays and Players, the precursor of Metro Pictures.

[2] In 1931 he produced Beaudine's Father's Son starring Leon Janney, Lewis Stone, Irene Rich, John Halliday and Mickey Bennett.

The Black Room (1935, Columbia) directed by Roy William Neill was the first horror film starring Boris Karloff.

[25] The following year he produced War of the Wildcats for Republic, also called In Old Oklahoma, directed by Albert S. Rogell and again starring John Wayne.

[26] His Someone to Remember (1943, Republic), directed by Curt Siodmak and based on Prodigal's daughter by Ben Ames Williams, was called "an exceptionally good 'B'".
