Notes

This comedy sketch is believed to have been performed by Nat Phillips sometime between late 1914 and July 1916, at which time he formed the Nat Phillips Tabloid Musical Comedy Comapny, starring himself and Roy Rene as Stiffy and Mo. The cast for the sketch would have likely included Phillips's wife, Daisy Merritt, possibly as Mrs Sellum.
