"An Irish Lullaby."
An Irish skit. Opening finds a blonde girl dressed as a kid playing with dolls in the yard of what is supposed to be an Irish home. Dingle enters as Uncle Pat, a youngish man who has made good in America and who has returned to the Old Sod to take back his little niece and also comply with the provisions of a will in marrying one Katie O'Brien. Pat thinks that is a tough assignment, but when the little doll playing miss turns out to be Katie, he changes his mind, for dressed in her own duds she is a good looking, slender gal. Dingle displays an Irish tenor offering several songs. One is "An Irish Lullaby," the other treating with prohibition and predicting what might come with more amendments to the constitution. The turn is for small
time.
