The original text
The short play A Bachelor's Dream by Hamilton Coleman was first copyrighted in Chicago in 1913.
Boonzaier (1923) mentions a 1910 South African performance of a variety sketch by an unknown author also called A Bachelor's Dream. However, it is probably an early version of Coleman's text.
