27 mins. – C.D.F. in 3 – in “The New Coachman,” that we have billed as our headliner. It seems hard to believe that Cressy ever wrote a word of the sketch as it was presented this afternoon. We had believed that it was a really strong act. It turned out to be suggestive throughout; and, although the act received some laughs, not a single one was gotten legitimately, but was forced by the springing on the audience a suggestive joke, or suggesting to them a situation that would hint at immorality. Part of the audience saw it in spots; others could not see the act at all. We surely have had many stronger headliners
