The act entitled “The Father” was fifteen minutes long.
Mr. Jose plays a father who finds his long lost daughter after receiving a letter from his estranged wife on her death bed. He procures a job as a copyist for a production that the daughter is acting in. He then has a chance to run lines with her and reveals that he is her father.
The sketch is barely worth the small time. Jose is not suited to his role and his conception of it is "too stagey".
