“Oat of Work” (Sketch). 16 Mins.; Full Stage (Special Set). 23d Street This is one of those bedroom acts. It is a combination of ideas contained in acts from other days. One asleep at opening, and the smothering of the alarm clock bit for the comedy—the husband who is lying abed while the wife is out hunting a job. The dialog is also familiar from old acts. A sample, “I wish I had taken my mother’s advice and never married you.” “So do I.” “I remember when we walked to the altar.” “Walked, you dragged me” With the bits from standard acts rolled into one it follows that this turn is a good one. It is in this case so good that it will make audiences laugh anywhere, especially on the small-time, which seems to be about the speed of the team. The set that is used is tack stuff, but mighty effective.
