This sketch entitled “A Comedy of Wives” was nineteen minutes long on the full stage.
Arnold Daly plays a husband who talks for about twenty minutes about how his wife left him for another man. He then talks for another seven minutes about how he’ll finally be able to take a trip around the world. His wife proceeds to return to him and he realizes that his trip must be cancelled.
"The piece met with no big reception at its close nor did the star get a reception on his appearance, but the house Monday night was very nearly a capacity one, which is more important."
The sketch could have been cut down to ten minutes. For those who like the acting of Daly the sketch is tolerable.
