This short was directed by Bryan Foy--a guy who grew up performing with his family on vaudeville with Eddie Foy and the Seven Little Foys. It consists of a group of apparently untalented acts putting on a little show for the Vitaphone folks. So who is the Morrissey in the title? That's Will Morrissey--a performer and producer who got these no-talent acts together and I assume that's him starring as the emcee--but I am not certain of this. All I am certain is that the acts seemed pretty poor-- even by the standards of the day. What they lacked in talent, they tried to make up for with energy but it was a losing battle. Like so many of the old Vitaphone talking shorts, it's great that so many have been restored--but unfortunately, of the 100-200 I have seen, this is among the most difficult to appreciate.
