11 mins. C.D.F. in 2, close in 1. Monologue. Presents bits of character work. She portrays the heroine, the villain, etc., the characters of a play, burlesquing them. The idea is good, but the audience didn’t seem to “catch on” to what she was trying to do – they took it seriously. Therefore, most of the comedy was entirely lost. The artiste was at fault. The act did not go very well. It was not bad – but is was not understood.
