Lew Lehr performed in vaudeville and on the musical stage until about 1930, when he began narrating and writing shorts for educational and other series entries such as "Tintypes", "Adventures of a Newsreel Cameraman", "Magic Carpet" series and "Lew Lehr's Unnatural History" series. He was also the editor, writer and commentator for Fox Movietone News, beginning in 1932, for the sequences within their newsreels called "The Dribble-Puss Parade". Whatever the subject, Lew Lehr's character had a sardonic and slightly-sour outlook on it, especially when it involved footage from old Edison films that Fox Movietone News would insert about once a month to lighten up their Newsreels.
