Comic dialogue.
Fremont-Benton and Co. have a long, drawn out affair over mistaken identity, forced upon the mother-in-law of the farcical skit by the young married man who, as a camouflaged caliph of Bagdad, had had an episode with a young woman in the park which he did not care to have either his wife or m-i-l know anything about. The introduction of the "girl" into the proceedings carried on without a change of scene through one-half of the stage being used for the home of the y.m.m. and the other side for the suite of the girl, was responsible for the laughter at the 23rd Street, where light turns of this character invariably find a responsive ear. The act is fairly well enacted, with sharp draws on the imagination. Old farcical complications are revamped along lines familiar to both big time and small time.
