The Morton

The Morton family were third, giving the show real timber right where it was needed. Mr. Morton worked like a Trojan, pulling every known bit of hoke in the catalog, but it all scored for bullseyes. Whenever the proceedings threatened to lag Morton senior pulled a fall or a bit of eccentric stepping that made ‘em howl. The children contributed a full share of the fun, the boy especially, working up the comedy bits for full value.
