The act was eleven minutes long. A man and a woman draw cartoons of people in the audience. They are both dressed in brown trousers and negligee shirts. They finish with pictures of Lincoln and Washington.
The audience showered them with "kind applause."
The bit with the sketches of the audience created clean, inoffensive comedy. They work faster than the average cartoon act. They are comparable to other good cartoon acts on the big time.
