The act was twenty-four minutes long on the full stage.
Louise Dresser, formerly a single act, is now assisted by William Cripps, Henry Marshall, and and George Spink. She opens with two comedy songs and changes while Cripps does a parade number in a kilt. Dresser then returns in a kilt and briefly joins the parade. Marshall as the orchestral director then sings a ballad in the pit. Dresser returns in a white evening gown and sings a child song with a hymnal melody accompanied by Spink on the organ. Cripps enters wearing evening clothes and the two do a “Bumble Bee” number for the finale.
"Moonlight Molly, O"; "Mirandy and Me"
Whenever Dresser appeared in an evening gown she was met with genuine applause.
Louise dresser should stick to wearing simple evening gowns without all the costume changes. She needs new stories and songs so she does not feel forced to drag down her act with a company.
