A boy at college tries to reform his room-mate, a good fellow who is crazy on skirts and booze. The boy tries to break up a marriage with an actress that the "souse" is bent on. The bad boy takes up most of the running time trying to act like a fellow with a bun. There are a couple of nasty lines in the piece that should never have gotten beyond any house manager.
They are going a roundabout way to get laughs. They are to be commended if they succeed with the junk someone has wished upon them. The act has two men and one woman involved; it is unclear which one is the star even from watching the production. The straight man gives the best performance by far, but it is unlikely that he is the star. It is possible that the woman is Richmond as she has little or nothing to do. The sketch should do alright for the small time, but almost anything does. The three players involved should not waste their time with it.
