Revusical.
Stiffy and Mo are set loose in a sanatorium.
Notes
-
Although this revusical is credited to Nat Phillips, it is not clear if there is any relationship between this work and Fun in a Sanatorium, a revusical produced by Albert Bletsoe as early as 1915 (National Theatre, Sydney, ca. November 1915). The cast for that production included Roy Rene (Theatre Magazine December 1915, p.41).
