This sketch entitled “A Business Proposal” was eighteen minutes long.
Jack Kennedy plays a businessman who orders his associate (Chauncey Moore) to marry his stenographer (Virginia Reynolds) whom he loves before he is promoted to a management position in Chicago.
"There is considerable repetition and, although the sketch becomes an absurdity, it got many laughs at the Union Square Monday night."
Kennedy is a good comedian and it is a good thing that the sketch requires him to remain onstage at all times. Moore plays the bashful and awkward character well, but Reynolds could be better.
