War travesty.
Gallagher and Rolley entering the good going in sixth spot shot across a shower of laughs with their war travesty. The turn stands repetition, and that is the best test of a vaudeville offering. During the bugle imitation by Rolley on the mouth organ of "Taps," a brace or something backstage tell, making a noise like a distant rifle shot. Wouldn't be a bad idea to insert several such shots during the bit, as it helps the illusion.
