Comic dialogue.
Anderson and Rehan held down the middle of the bill, with a comedy sketch that is funny from the word go, especially that the two characters are very dry in expressions and attitude. It is founded on a married couple unemployed and only four cents in their possession. In the opening scene he is still in bed, just being disturbed by the sounding of an alarm clock, denoting 10 A. M. After arising to turn it off (with stockings on) his wife appears. The couple then go through a routine of comedy talk anent employment when a telegram relieves the situation (by coming paid) with the following day schedule for him to go back to work: Very good small time act and should have no trouble in scoring.
