Date:
In a character comedy singing playlet “Happy’s Million”.  Carry their own drop in one representing a scene in Tonapah.  Morrow impersonates a cowboy, his old character, an does it well, while the woman portrays the character of a quakeress and just gets by as she never took any prizes for singing therefor her speaking voice is bad.  Morrow introduces his specialty The story is that of a cowboy, lost heavily at faro, meets the quakeress and proposes.  Uses a midget on the finish as a cupid, who swings across stage attached to the man and woman by colored ribbons, same idea as in their old act.  The audience did not enthuse.  At the evening performance it went a trifle better but I doubt if it will be acceptable.  16 minutes in one.
