During the early 1900’s most ball
players had regular jobs during the
off-season. Star baseball players if
given the chance would supplement their
winter income by appearing in
vaudeville. The vaudeville salary was
much more than a player earned from
baseball something five times their
baseball salary. Working with
experienced vaudeville stars that did
most of the acting, many players would
do a baseball monologue, recited poems
such as ‘Casey at the Bat,’ and
sometimes did a little singing or
dancing. Some of the biggest names in
baseball appeared on the vaudeville
stage including; Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb,
Rube Marquard, Chris Mathewson and
others not as well-known.
Heading into the off season of 1911, after winning the Word Series title,
Philadelphia Athletic Champions; Jack
Coombs, Chief Bender and Cy Morgan,
known as "The Minstrel Man of the
Diamond," headed for the vaudeville
stage. Teaming up with the Pearl
Sisters, the act was called "The
Learning Game," and the players were
advertised to have appeared in the same
uniforms that they wore in the World
Series.
The story line for the skit called "The Learning Game," featured one of
the Pearl sisters inheriting a baseball
team. Not knowing anything about
baseball she is assisted by the other
Pearl sister who plays a baseball
fanatic, and the three handsome
ballplayers, showing her the way to
fame and fortune. The song "Oh, Mr.
Dream Man (Please Let Me Dream Some
More)" was probably sung by the sister
playing the part of the baseball
fanatic
dreaming... "Just to be his little wife"
to one of the ballplayers because
“You’re the one that I’ve been looking for.”
Coombs and Bender were strangers to the stage but not so with Cy Morgan, a
seasoned veteran to the stage whose
picture appears on the sheet music. It
was common to print various copies of
the same sheet music featuring
different photos of vaudeville singers.
Another copy for the sheet music for "Oh, Mr. Dream Man (Please Let Me
Dream Some More)" was Published
by Harry von Tilzer without the
vaudeville team of ball players, and
the Pearl Sisters. The song was written
by Jimmie V. Monaco, and was
recorded by Ada Jones and released on the
Victor record label in 1912.
After the 1912 season the Athletics owner Connie Mack tried to send Cy
Morgan to the minors but Morgan chose
vaudeville instead. Morgan appeared in
one game for the Cincinnati Reds in
1913, but the 2.1 innings he pitched
would mark the end of his career.

Talk about your funny
dreams,
I had one of them, it seems
And it made me feel so goody, goody
‘Twasn’t sad, Nothing bad,
Just a bout some one that I could love
If this dream does not come true
Then I know what I will do
I will kneel down on my knees and pray
Until I dream and dream and this I’ll say
Oh Mister Dream Man, please let me dream some more
Just like the dream I had the night before
I dreamt about a lovin’ man, he was so sweet!
And when he started lovin’ me my heart began to beat
And when he kissed me, Hmmmmmm!
He made me ask for more,
He’s a prize, I idolize
his great big dreamy dark brown eyes
Oh, Mister Dream Man I want to dream some more
I’d be satisfied with life,
Just to be his little wife
I would love and squeeze and tease and please him
Night and day Till he’d say
“You’re the one that I’ve been looking for”
Oh I wish he would be mine!
I would love him all the time!
Then I know I’d be so happy, happy,
No more would I pray and need to say
Oh Mister Dream Man, please let me dream some more
Just like the dream I had the night before
I dreamt about a lovin’ man, he was so sweet!
And when he started lovin’ me my heart began to beat
And when he kissed me, Hmmmmmm!
He made me ask for more
He’s a prize, I idolize
his great big dreamy dark brown eyes
Oh, Mister Dream Man I want to dream some more
