An Irish sketch “Come Back To Erin”. I want to explode the idea that seems prevalent that this is a singing act. There is a little singing in it, but it is of no consequence at all and is only an incident to the act. There is comedy and pathos, general picture of Irish peasant life of modern times and a little of the work formerly done by Callahan & Mack on the bench with the matches, bag pipe playing and Irish jigs and reels. The act was a decided hit, the audience demanding several curtain calls that were really genuine. 16 min. full stage, 2 shows.
