In 1882, Evans and Hoey dropped their original partners and developed a risque comedy sketch called “the Book Agent”. They hired two pretty girls to sing and dance in the act (the “French Twin Sisters”) and ended up marrying them. In 1884, with the help of prolific playwright Charles H. Hoyt, the expanded their vaudeville turn into a full length show called “A Parlor Match”, which ran in Lower Manhattan until 1893. After this, there were several successful musical versions on Broadway. When Hoey passed away in 1897, Evans continued acting in Broadway shows, and later in Hollywood movies.
