The scene of the skit represents an early morning rehearsal, with the girls arriving late, offering various comedy excuses. One young woman who blamed her automobile made an impression, while another “sister” act looking for an engagement had a brief but meaty argument with the stage manager (Mr. Harrison).
He has some bright and breezy talk on an umbrella, written by George Ade, although John J. McNally wrote the piece, a condensation of an act in the late piece "In Newport." Mr. Harrison interpolated the talk, also the "Sherlock Holmes" song.
Each was liked by the audience, to whom the song was evidently unfamiliar.
It was somewhat of a novelty to see a "girl act" in the New York Theatre. More of the same sort would fit in nicely. Mr. Harrison's light comedy efforts, with the good looks and work of the girls, make the piece good vaudeville entertainment.
