Comic dialogue and characters.
The drop is of a rural scene and the characters, man and woman, are "rubes" of eccentric type. After a bit of introductory talk the girl does "Heaven Will Protect a Girl" with the accompanying nonsense, the man trying to abstract music from a funnel with a nasal attachment, without result. The man then essayed a young cello with emphasis on one string. His second number was a ballad which allowed the girl to warble. He also performed on a violin, playing it cello-wise and giving imitations of persons talking, also an impression of an
organ. There was a strange finish, the man suddenly producing silks and laces, and in the guise of a male dressmaker, although without change of character, he fashioned a sort of bridal costume on. the girl. It seemed all out of order with such rural surroundings. The girl may be Blanche Lattell who appeared in a girl act several seasons ago, in which the gown-fashioning stunt was a feature. Only small time.
