The act was twenty-two minutes long.
Carter and Waters are a male and female team who perform monologues and sing one song. The woman opens with a monologue (“lambasting men to a frazzle”) in a travestied suffragette costume. A man then walks across the stage with a baby carriage and gives his won version of the suffragette talk. During the song, the man uses a wooden table as a piano.
The audience enjoyed the woman's first speech. The only part of the song that the audience liked was the bit with the table-piano.
The act gets off to a fast start, but stays on too long. After the two do their individual suffragette speeches, they should come together to debate onstage. "To hear a woman pan men as this one does is very funny, and it catches the sympathy of the women auditors while it amuses the other gender."
