This “racing sketch” was twenty minutes long on the full stage.
The sketch is a melodrama which includes a horse race to save an old home. The standard tropes of the villianess, the doping of horses, and the fateful race are all present.
A film portrays the horse race onstage.
"It all goes to make a 'flash' on a big small time bill and as such will answer nicely."
