Sketch and dialogue depicting living conditions for soldiers at war.
A drop explained then briefly the following act, Billett No. 13, which closed the show. The scene is in a dilapidated Billet (Billet meaning a hut somewhere in the trenches) occupied by three men, presumably off duty. Going through their customary routine, as if they were actually behind the lines in Flanders, the trio demonstrated real living while at war. After a few ballads are sung, and the word "Canadian" well emphasized, peace is declared, putting a finishing touch to the vaudeville for the evening.
