The phrase refers to a heartening reception given his vaudeville act by the audience at an Altoona theater during the early years of the comedian's career. It was also an appropriate title choice because of the comedic sound of the word Altoona. The city was reputedly named in 1849 by J. Edgar Thomson, then chief engineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). An assistant engineer later claimed he pointed out to Thomson that generally: words, in the English language, containing the double "o," had some low signification, as "booby," "fool," "poltroon," "spooney," etc. ad in finitum whereas the reverse was as signally trueofwords wherein the single "o" gave the vowel sound, as "noble," "holy," "glory," "heroic," etc. He therefore suggested "Altona" instead, but "Mr. Thompson was not the sort of man to change a plan at the suggestion of another, and 'Altoona' remains."1 In part as a consequence of this unsophisticated sound, the name also served to represent provincial middle America and Burns' long appeal there. Altoona would have proudly accepted the role of standing for quintessential middle America. In fact, city boosters have long tried to place it in that role, describing Altoona as a place "where there is neither the very rich nor the very poor." The city was founded in 1849 as the site of the PRR's main locomotive and car repair and building shops.
