-The author of the [[Wikipedia]] entry on Morton notes that ''[[Box and Cox]]'' "was in the tradition of E. F. Prieur and A. Letorzec's ''[[Une Chambre pour Deux]]'' (1839) (the source for Morton's 1843 piece ''[[The Double-Bedded Room]]''),  but then goes on to note that an eminent authority such as the playwright F.C. Burnand discounted the importance of ''[[La Chambre à Deux Lits]]'' in this case , saying that Morton's play was based on the French one-act vaudeville, ''[[Frisette]]'' by Eugène Labiche and Auguste Lefranc, which had been produced in Paris in the Théâtre du Palais-Royal on 28 April 1846 and was published by Editions Michel Lévy frères.
