“The Corner Store” is a Fred J. Ardath
bucolic comedy skit, with Ardath
and Allman programed as presenting
it. The set is a grocery store, with a
widow running the place, her mischievous
son tending store and creating the
fun with his pranks. It’s a sort of
“Peck’s Bad Boy” reset. There
are the surefire rural characters, types,
four men and three women. Toward
the finish there is a painting bit that is
a Chaplin and Keystone all in one for
messy business.
It brought howls
from the Royal audience Monday night
and will be as certain before any similar
audience.
