Wife Has Something To Say When Hubby Wins Irish Sweepstakes
A picture of a perfect calm is provided by one of the men whose luck brought him the first prize in the Irish Sweepstakes. But his wife gives a good substantial yell over their fortune.
And A Rebuttal From Someone Who Didn't Win The Sweepstakes
John Q. Dohp represents the majority of Sweepstakes ticket-holders in his sad but un-tearful explanation of how it feels to lose. This was a three-week hold-over on Broadway.
