Usually, rube comics were favored by rural audiences who liked their entertainers down to earth. In Chic’s case, you couldn’t get more down to earth than the outhouses that figured in his storytelling. Despite a preference for sophisticated monologists, Broadway audiences took to two of the cracker barrel types, including Will Rogers and Chic Sale. Sale portrayed a village full of hayseed characters in his storytelling of which “Grandpa” was the most successful. He also wrote a best selling book of outhouse humor called “The Specialist” which is still in print after 80 years. Here he is pictured wearing a button-down shirt and jacket. His shirt is accented by a wide striped tie. Chic's protuberant expression is offset by an over exaggerated mustache and hat. He has nonchalantly tucked his left hand into the pocket of his slacks. In his right hand, he casually holds a pair of gloves. He stands with his ankles together and toes pointed out. The photograph appears to be set in a room of a house, where on the wall Chic's mustache is even more exaggerated.
