"Her Great Chance."
Two women and a man comprise the Emily Smiley Co. presenting "Her Great Chance." A rich man - the uncle of one of the women - has made his wealth through an invention of the niece's father; the niece by-the-way also having married the son of the rich gink. The old man reels off quite a clatter about the family tree and would have nothing to do with his daughter-in-law, who was a mill girl. The other girl is the favored chick of the Oliver household. The poor girl puts over a nifty on the old man and by a subtle trick obtains a signed statement that will make the man's son and herself rich. The work of the women was heads and shoulders above the man's. There is some very smart dialog; some of the best that has been heard in the pop houses in many a day. The sketch was effective, with the work of the women saving it from falling from grace.
