During the Depression Bertram produced and acted in the Bert Bertram Players, a stock company that performed under a tent in Augusta, Georgia, created and directed a radio acting company, Theater of the Air, and was a dancing instructor. During World War II he produced, directed and played a leading role in Civilians in Action, a radio play in Augusta, and managed and played in USO companies in Europe.
