Aug performed a variety of imitations, including an East Side interpretation. However it is her act, "The Scrub-woman's Dream," that is her main performance. The act is not consistent with that of a scrub-woman as Miss Aug discards her brushes and buckets to perform a "gayety girl" dance. She shows off well-shaped underpinnings and lingerie that a washerwoman would not wear.
The third, and lesser known headliner, Edna Aug proved to win out over all others, except possibly Marie Dressler. Her act was not concise or convincing yet is still amusing. She is one of the brightest features of the bill.
