The set (which the act does not carry) is supposed to show the dressing room of ''The Cherry Trio," three girls who are to "try out" on a vaudeville stage. One of the girls fails to appear and the remaining two press into service the scrub woman, Lazy Lou (Vinnie Henshaw). All this takes about three minutes. For the remaining thirteen the two girls and Shorty (Frank Van), a stage hand, who is on the stage about thirty seconds altogether, play "straight" for Miss Henshaw. There are a few good laughs in the offering, due entirely to the woman's individuality.
There are a few good laughs in the offering, due entirely to the woman's individuality. Miss Henshaw is funny, genuinely so, but she is not strong enough to carry this burden to success. One of the girls employed is a pleasing picture in a red soubrette costume and makes much of a small part. The other of the two was suite the opposite. Shorty, the stage hand, didn't have time to prove his worth. The act is similar to the one played by the Misses Henshaw and Fransioli in burlesque last season.
