“Her Only Chance”

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Singing and crossfire talk.
Girl enters in a timid manner and orchestra leader tells her to wait for her music. She finally gets on. A man sitting down front starts to walk out. She tells him the show isn't over. They start to crossfire. He finally goes up on stage. (Stan Stanley is going on the Loew Circuit very soon.) They close with a song and dance, the girl doing a clown dance and falling all over her partner. The man's vocalizing is bad. Most of the gags are old acquaintances, but the girl gets lots of laugh from her sap delivery and knowledge of comedy values. The idea parallels the Stanley act. They scored heavily on the roof.
