Dialogue and singing.
"If We Said What We Thought."
Mr. Carle is a "production comedian" of big reputation in large productions. The scenery looks familiar and during the action Mr. Carle unwound song thread from his coat sleeve. It was suggested he had lost his underwear in the operation; he also was pushed off a bench and later, as he held a couple of stockings in his hands, said he thought he would take them out and have them filled. The author picked up a laugh here and there, not too often, but often enough if the act ran 14 minutes, which would only mean 24 minutes out. After the playlet proper had concluded Mr. Carle came before the curtain and did a "nut" recitation or song. It was as well placed as the Hippodrome is for a picture show.
