Comic dialogue.
Al Lydell and Carleton Macy did the former Lydell and Higgins turn with a change of routine. Mr. Macy (who often appeared in vaudeville in years gone with his wife, Maud Hall Macy ("The Magpie and the Jay," etc.), is doing the straight as an old naval officer to Lydell's old vet, in which none excels him. To hear the old A.K. ejaculate "Attaboy, attaboy" while Mr. Macy is reading a letter is as good a laugh as vaudeville holds. Mr. Macy has a verse written by Katherine Dana, and he makes it tell. As verse it is much beyond what vaudeville has grown to bear. The combination of Lydell and Macy is excellent; in contract, perfect, and in entertainment, 100 per cent.
