Comic dialogue and song.
Following the news reel, McLean, Gates and Co., the latter the house stage crew, offered a comedy playlet, which towards its conclusion grew tragic, with the "punch" derived from the scene shifters "butting in" and advising the players to finish their weeps in the alley. The man and woman of the turn go into "one" and kid the audience, finishing with a double song. The act scored as unusual.
