Allan Jones

Biography

Allan Jones (14 October 1907, Old Forge, Pennsylvania – 27 June 1992, New York, New York) was an American actor and singer. For many years he was married to actress Irene Hervey; their son is American pop singer Jack Jones. Jones starred in many film musicals during the 1930s and 1940s. The best-known of these were Show Boat (1936), and The Firefly (1937) (in which he sang the popular "Donkey Serenade"). However, he is now best remembered as the romantic straight man to the Marx Brothers in their first two MGM productions, A Night at the Opera, and A Day at the Races.
