Presenting the comedy “Miss Mc Cobb, Manicureste” [sic] by Clyde Fitch. A great deal of advertising to the Clyde Fitch name. Georgie Laurence created quite a part as the amazing hair-dresser in “Her Own Way” in which Maxine Elliot scored her great success. Miss Laurence is ably supported by Miss Fern Maycliffe, who takes the edge off of Miss Laurence’s work and manages to get a rousing hand for her work. The man is Edwin A. Fowler, who one time was a member of the Proctor Stock Company. The sketch is good, with plenty of laughs and can be worked out to a great success provided the present company remains, especially the woman. It is a little talky on the opening, but interesting. The fight between the two men – striking each other – pulling hair and finally finishing with the smashing of head-gear is a continuous roar and a knock out. The finish of the sketch can be improved upon. It was very acceptable and pleased. 23 minutes.
