It is two rooms in the hotel and the consequent mix-up of husbands and wives.
There are about fourteen chorus girls in all. One blonde is unusually lively. A few are good looking and a few just the opposite.
In "The Lid Lifters" no one would call the first part "A Night's Frolic," any part of a "show." It's a farce, presented under many aliases. Farley and Clare opened the olio, the Alvin Brothers showed a neat ring turn and Kooper and Canfield gave a fair "Dutch" act to close the olio.
Miss Elizabeth Mayne has a red and a pink short skirt affair; also a cold when seen. She makes an "audience" song of "Flirty Eyes."
That's all there is to "The Lid Lifters." It isn't much.
