"Lost and Found."
Franker Wood and Bunee Wyde have a neat little sketch construction in "one," on which they hang singing and dancing. The idea is of two doors set in a drop, showing two small studios adjoining. In this it resembles their two-room doors in a hotel corridor, which they did some time ago. At the opening Wood is first dispossessed, and a few moments later the girl shares a like fate. The talk is 'fast" and corners laughs. Wood has a number early of a comedy character, and he delivers with it. Later a double, which brings the "plot" to light, is "My Husband - My Wife." The fact is that Wood and the girl were married two years before and that he left her after having "copped her coin," but as he has shaved his beard she failed to recognize him. Then a burlesque classical dance furnishes the finish, and it is good laugh-producing material. The turn is clever and capable of holding a spot on any big-time bill.
