Mr. Gallegher and Mr. Shean

Mr. Gallegher and Mr. Shean is a lost Screen Song featuring Al Shean, the uncle of the Marx Brothers, in a reacreadtion of his and Ben Gallegher's famous music hall routine. Sadlly, Mr. Gallegher had already died by this time, so a substitute was used to provide the voice of the Gallegher character..

Synopsis
The film probably is set in a theater, complete with gags involving people in the audience, as was common at this tiime. Mr. Gallegher and Mr. Shean would be standing facing each other; Mr. Gallegher would be dressed as an explorer and Mr. Shean would be dressed as a native Egyption. They wore the costumes to provide what was then called "irrelevant humour." Their routine was one of patter and their theme song became one of the most famous of any vaudeville duo. For the cartoon, the song probably went something like ths: "Mr. Gallegher, Mr. Gallegher,

Do you know where that film is, Mr. Gallegher?"

Mr. Gallegher would reply:

"Mr. Shean, Mr. Shean,

No I can't find that film, Mr. Shean!"

The refrain went something like this:

"The greatest vaudeville team that ever was seen

Was Mr. Gallegher and Mr. Shean!"
