Murphy and Francis

Location:
Date:
Colored singing and dancing comedians. This is the ‘Murphy’ of formerly ‘Murphy & Slater’ who has now a women working with him and I believe the act is an improvement over the old act. The man is certainly a clever and unctuous comedian and a very eccentric dancer. They went very strongly indeed. 15 min in one, 3 shows.
