"One Word"
"New? Yes. Novel? Yes. People? Two. Star? Yes. Who? Crosman. Henrietta? Yes. Words? Yes. Each? One." The sketch's one-worded dialogue is away from the usual run of dramatic sketches, yet one can hardly see where it will set vaudeville afire. The redeeming feature was the way Miss Crosman and the man handled the single word "conversation." The dialogue has a halting, jerking, momentum. Fortunately Frank C. Egan's sketch only runs 10 minutes. The sketch is too light for vaudeville, although it might be accepted for its ingenious construction. There are only one or two good laughs.
