The act was seventeen minutes long.
Emmett O’Reilly and company present a comedy sketch which involves two young lovers and their male friend who disguises himself as the girl’s aunt. O’Reilly plays the aunt, who convinces the man to propose to her “niece”.
The sketch "caused much laughter."
O'Reilly could probably trim five minutes off of the running time and still retain the comedy of the sketch. The act is a sure to be a laughing hit in the pop houses.
