“Morton dresses in a neat sack suit of stylish cut.”
He is "the real big hit of the program." "When it comes to out and out 'coon singing' it will take a long search to find Mr. Morton's equal. He is a coonshouter with a voice which he knows how to handle and out of which he gets all that is possible." "He can come into vaudeville with his good voice, pleasing style of delivery and run well in any company. Here is someone who can sing songs in a way to benefit the music publishers."
