In an extravagant comedy sketch, “20 Minutes Lay Over at Alfalfa Junction.” Milton is a rube station agent and a sort of Poo Bah representing the various characters introduced by a change of cap on which is marked his official position—agent, fireman, mail clerk, etc. The two girls are supposed to be vaudeville performers. There is a special set representing a railway station. There is a lot of comedy between the three people in the way of cross fire conversation. The act is a is a very good laughing number and scored heavily all the way through. It is without rhyme or reason, but light and entertaining, and it thoroughly made good. The interest is varied through the introduction of musical numbers on the melodian [sic] and a saxophone trio for a finish. Open special set in 3, close in 1; 21 minutes.
