[Shapiro, Fred]

satchel mouth (OED 1933)

1931 Scranton Times 5 May 15/2 (Newspapers.com)

"Sunshine Sammy," inimitable colored star of "Our Gang Comedies" in years gone by, got a rousing welcome to Scranton last night. ... "Sunshine Sammy" works hard to put his act over.  So do his two brothers, whom he dubs "Satchel-moutj" and "Hot Stuff."
