Sketch entitled “The Dude Detective”. This act was a pleasant surprise. Mr. Byron in his character work created laughter on his entrance before he had spoken a word and the first hair of the sketch went with a scream. However the interest seemed to Lag at the end, and I am going to try and have them change their finish or cut out five minutes at the end of their act. C. D. F. in 3. 19 min. Cuts- “Bitten by a Cockroach” and “Crossed Eyed Bed-bugs”.
