"Wives of the Rich."
The applause did not demand the extra encore.
Claude Gillingwater and Edith Lyle in their sketch, "Wives of the Rich," held the audience silent for many minutes and finished to a good laugh. It is a powerful bit of acting that Gillingwater does in parts of his sketch and Miss Lyle's good looks and natural manner go a long way toward its success. Mme. Jeanne Jomelli, the prima donna, was a big hit until she came back for the final song.
