Wells, had nothing to do with the more famous sketch that was written by JOEY FAYE ,Billy Minsky's House Comic from the late 20s until 1939 and the sketch partner of Gypsy Rose Lee.<br />Joey wrote the FLOOGLE STREET sketch in the late 1920s, in tribute to Wells, But made sure to copyright his sketch with entirely different title. It was one of his most famous and popular sketches, along with Slowly I Turn. Joey was a prolific sketch writer and was well known in the Burlesque era to help other greats rehearse and work their routines.
