Presenting “A Regular Business Man”. Mr. Fairbanks portrays the character of a young lawyer, who on account of his weak business ability—his stenographer and fiancée decide to resign—he begs for time—six months, three months and one month and finally an hour is granted, he gets busy and by good luck makes $50, 000 in an hour. The sketch is full of good bright up-to-date lines, with many laughs, exceptionally clever and well played. Twenty-two minutes, full stage. At every performances the two former Co-Stars Tom Wine and Douglas Fairbanks join hands, their appearance is the cause of spontaneous applause from all parts of the house, which necessitates both making genuine first night curtain speeches. The publicity given the two Co-Stars in all the papers has been tremendous with the result of S.R.O. at every performance.
