Murphy and Willard

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Man and woman in a comedy sketch, in which the man impersonates a sort of happy-go-lucky “rube”, and the woman acts as a feeder, and is a very good vocalist. The man is quite an unctuous comedian, and has a method of delivering his lines which reaches the audience every time. I have not played the act for the last two or three years on account of a bad report which I received from the Boston house, and I guess we were the losers in not doing so. 20 minutes in full stage; could close in one it required.
