Sylvester Kee is a 47 year old theatrical performer-ventriloquist. He is originally from the United States of America. Sylvester's dummy is called Fancy Pants.
During the events of Dead of Night (1945) played by Hartley Power
Sylvester goes to the Chez Beulah Nightclub and is greeted by Beulah. They go to watch Maxwell Frere's routine and during the routine, Maxwell brings Hugo to Sylvester's table. Maxwell figures out that Sylvester is also a ventriloquist and Hugo offers to work with Sylvester. Hugo says he doesn't want to sing and wants to sit with Sylvester. Hugo again tells Sylvester that he wants to work with him and calls Maxwell a cheap hat. Maxwell slaps Hugo and then ends his show. Sylvester goes to Maxwell's dressing room and Maxwell asks Sylvester what Hugo said. Sylvester tells Maxwell that he would never steal his act, and Maxwell tells him to leave. Later, Sylvester goes to the Imperial Palace Hotel in London. He sees Maxwell who tells him that he walked out of Joe Green's show, because Hugo didn't like it. Mitzi and Harry Parker walk into the bar and Mitzi goes to pick up Hugo. As she goes to pick him up, Hugo warns her to leave him alone or he will punch her. She walks back to Harry and tells him to demand Maxwell apologize to her. Hugo continues to insult Mitzi and Harry punches Maxwell until he is stopped by Sylvester. Sylvester and Maxwell go to Maxwell's room and he tells Sylvester that Hugo is trying to ruin him. Maxwell accuses Sylvester of trying to steal Hugo and Sylvester goes to his room. Sylvester wakes up to someone banging on his door and when he opens it, Maxwell demands to know where Hugo is. Maxwell finds Hugo on Sylvester's bed and shoots Sylvester. After Sylvester recovers, he goes to see Maxwell in the mental hospital and Maxwell speaks to him using Hugo's voice.
