[New Act] Sketch, 23 mins; three (Special Drop). With Clem Bevins as the town constable before a rural “drop” and a cast consisting of a girl as the prodigal daughter, also a man doubling as the village storekeeper and the husband of the returned long lost member, the sketch did very well with a neighborhood audience.
The usual “hick” comedy with a bit of heart interest inserted toward the finish in the father reuniting his daughter with her second husband – and they liked it tremendously, The act looks “set” for the smaller houses, but it’s problematic about what would happen higher up.
Bevins is well known in burlesque as a “rube.”
