My impression is that the material came mostly from Charles Mack, or at 
least he seems to get credit for it.  George Moran was good, but I 
regard Mack as brilliant, both in his material and that odd sort of lazy 
dialect he affected.  Listen to his phrasing and timing on the records. 
  My impression is that everybody had the 1/2 disk, but that the later 
disks were less common.  Moran turns up much later in several W.C. 
Fields movies as an Indian (Fields knew the pair from Ziegfeld 
appearances in the 1920's).
