Xylophone playing and dialogue from plants in audience.
Friscoe appeared No. 2 by the grace of Jess Libonati. His trunks failed to arrive and he sent a hurry S.O.S. to Libonati, who immediately rushed a xylophone to Friscoe, with full equipment. Although Friscoe had to work in street clothes, he scored, getting a big laugh from the use of a comedy woman plant who calls for a "Humoresque," and sings a few notes to illustrate which "Humoresque" she means. Another plant complains bitterly his four requests for numbers have been ignored by the xylophonist.
