"Twenty Minutes Layover at Alfalfa Junction" - Mr. Milton plays the rube station master who also happens to be the champion title holder of the world. He gets much comedy changing his hat for each new position. The De Long Sisters play "actor-folk" who have a layover at Alfalfa Junction. The sisters are responsible for a good portion of the sketch. One is doing the grand Boston society thing, another is employing Bert Leslie slang. The "slangy" sister keeps things lively all the time. The three conclude the act with saxophone playing mixed with some singing.
Adam Sowerguy-Murphy has given Milton a neat little package of comedy which the comedian sends over without losing a point. The girls make excellent comedy of the rube. The contrast between the brightly tailored sisters and the rube with matrimonial intention is laughable.
