Christopher Morley as Carl/Carlotta, the circus performer, in the 1991 feature Howling VI: The Freaks. This is actually a re-cut from another, longer video. This scene I've singled out because it clearly shows Christopher's impersonation abilities. We clearly see how beautiful and feminine he looks, especially when compared to his "male" half - to the stereotipical male beauty the mask is supposed to portray.

Librivox recording of The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley. Read by J. M. Smallheer. Roger Mifflin is the somewhat eccentric proprietor of The Haunted Bookshop, a second-hand bookstore in Brooklyn that is "haunted by the ghosts of all great literature." Beginning with the arrival of a young advertising man and the mysterious disappearance of a certain volume from the shelves of the bookshop, a lively and often humorous tale of intrigue unfolds, generously sprinkled with liberal doses of Roger's unique philosophy on literature and book selling. (Summary by J. M. Smallheer)

LibriVox recording of Mince Pie, by Christopher Morley. Mince Pie is a compilation of humorous sketches, poetry, and essays written by Christopher Morley. Morley sets the tone in the preface: "If one asks what excuse there can be for prolonging the existence of these trifles, my answer is that there is no excuse. But a copy on the bedside shelf may possibly pave the way to easy slumber. Only a mind "debauched by learning" (in Doctor Johnson's phrase) will scrutinize them too anxiously."
