Biographical / Historical:
According to a great-niece of the subject, Christine Willis (in an email, 27 April 2015), Sadie Mozee was born Louisa Marshall in the United Kingdom. In an article about air raids and wartime diffculties in England, Theatre Section, Afro-American, Sept. 6, 1941, it was stated that Ms. Mozee was living at 2107 Second St., N.W., Washington, and was concerned about relatives in England. ( https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2211&dat=19410906&id=4epfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QgMGAAAAIBAJ&pg=3944,581626&hl=en ) This article, however, states that she was born in Cairo, Egypt, to an American mother and Egyptian father, then raised in London. She had a stage career as a singer beginning at age fifteen, touring Europe with the Dark Town Entertainers. She came to the U.S. with the Black Bird Revue in 1929. She met her husband Frank Mozee in Saratoga Springs, New York.

The male figure is in blackface, wearing a straw hat, and may be Eddie Hartman. However, in a March 30, 2012 interview with Dr. Harold Corwin, who played "Stumpy" from 1938, curator David Haberstich was told that the male was neither Hartman nor Corwin.

Corwin furrther stated that he had no knowledge of a Stello or Stella in this connection. Title in ink on base side at top edge: "Stumpy & Stello 4 - B&W". No maker's edge imprint.
