Presenting the playlet entitled “Pals.” Five people are carried for the production of this sketch also every piece of scenery, accessory and “prop.” It might be classed as a “comedy-melodrama” for it opens in a light, breezy way and closes with an altercation between the two principal male characters, during the progress of which they break mirrors, incandescent globes and other perishable furniture. The melee culminates by the men fighting on the stairs (the interior being a palace arch) which fall with a crash. The audience of this house, which will compare intellectually with any in country, have been very demonstrative in their approval of the act. 21 minutes in 2.
