Ward & Curran

Date:
Two men, comedy sketch ‘The Terrible Judge.’ Anther act, good, ‘tis true, but has been played to death here. I believe this is their fifth visit. A good act loses value when it plays too often, and we could lose this act for one full year. Cut out: ‘You’ll be a damn fool all your life.’ The dialogue has been changed some – and not for the better – as their new stuff is coarse, and a great deal of it objectionable to ladies. Their whole act needs toning down. 31 mins, CDF in 3. Close in one.
