This sketch entitled “Her Excellency, the Governor” was nineteen minutes long on the full stage.
The sketch involves the daughter of a wealthy American widow who becomes infatuated with a foreign nobleman who marries her mother. Amelia Summerville plays the widow.
Bernard Fairfax as the nobleman was a weak point in the sketch because it was difficult to tell whether he was French or English based on his accent. The daughter played her role excellently. The plot is not original and the sketch is not vaudeville comedy. The roles of the Chinese servant and the suffragette are superfluous and should be cut.
