Jack the Giant Killer
The sketch will delight the children and the antics of the little fellow should be amusing for the grown-ups.
The sketch derives its comedy from the ridiculous situation of Ernest Rommell, the midget comedian, rescuing the captured princess from the cluthes of the giant in a mortal combat.
