“The Test.” 16 minutes C.D.F. Two men, one woman and Mrs. Langtry. So much has been said about this sketch that a continuation of this subject would be simply repetition. The sketch is bad, has no action and the acting is without any merit whatever. The heroic action of the male members of the company comes as the result of one man calling another man’s wife by her first name and kissing her hand. Such heroics are considered “mock” by our audiences. Mrs. Langtry’s costuming of the act is really the principal part of the offering. (New York)
