No further reference to such a play has been found, besides this, though F.C.L. Bosman (1980: p246) tentatively suggests a "J.R. Brown" as the possible author. (Could this be a reference to "Joe Brown" of the Christy Minstrels?). The piece appears to have been a two hander for the two transformation artistes, for Bosman also cites the following short description: "The Cat, an ill used wife; The Dog, an outraged husband."
