This sketch entitled “The Wardrobe Woman” and written by Edgar Allan Woolf was twenty-three minutes long.
Zelda Sears plays the titular Wardrobe Woman. The setting is offstage at an opera house. The manager leaves the troupe, so the rest of them marry each other. The wardrobe woman marries the property man so she can get back to Broadway.
Zelda Sears holds the attention of the audience and gets several laughs.
The company consisting of Margaret Armstrong, Earl Metcalfe, and Beatrice Belmont, play their parts well. More attention should be given to the property man (Walter Young) because the part has a lot of comedic potential. The sketch could easily be a three-act play. Sears gives an excellent performance and the sketch will do well in any house.
