Military themed sketch dialogue.
Woolf, Stewart and Co. presented a rather well conceived sketch in which an army major occupying the only room left in a hotel receives a request from a mysterious captain to share the room with him. After much refusing, the major finally consents because of military etiquette. Be retires, and the captain arrives— a woman in some "service" corps, of course. The ensuing complications are interesting if not slide-splitting, and it proceeds smoothly to a rather impossible finish in which the major sends the bellboy out for a parson, so that he can marry the captain to save her reputation.
