The sketch entitled “A One Night Stand in Minstrelsy” was twenty-one minutes long.
The act revolves around a colored porter who joins a minstrel troupe. The Leighton trio assumes their usual characters [which are not explicitly mentioned].
The stage is transformed into a railroad tank station, with a section of the troupe’s private car showing.
"We'll Let Bill Do That"
The snappy dance by the "bellboy" received much applause.
The act seems too long at twenty minutes. It would run more smoothly if the opening minutes of dialogue were converted into a song.
