And while I'm at it, I'm reminded of another favorite one-hit wonder ( although Billy Reed is now a two-hit wonder, being also Mr Scroggins ), Lew Kelley , Professor Dunkfeather in Spook Louder. He turned up as the Sheriff in W C Fields's The Old Fashioned Way, that we knew, but I recently discovered a factoid that he was a Vaudeville monologist whose character was an opium addict, of all things. He certainly looked the part. He went way back to the 1910's, when opium was as notorious as crack was in the 1980's. He would have been the Mitch Hedburg of 1915.
