Comic dialog with comic and straight.
Wilbur Dobbs, known in burlesque, and the Welch formerly of Curley and Welch are together in a skit of a straight man and janitor before a street drop of an apartment house front. The drop is a feature of the turn and as good a drop as anyone could hope for. The turn is all talk. Mr. Dobbs making his character of the janitor funny and Mr. Welch upholding his end. The act is new and will develop. It needs to be lengthened out two or three minutes and a smattering of rough comedy interjected somewhere might give it bigger laughing value. That could easily fit in with the janitor's role. As a comedy act is now looks about sure for the big time, with work.
