Hal Stephens makes up in front of the audience and proceeds to reenact famous scenes from famous plays. He steps backward onto a miniature stage which is fitted with the appropriate setting. He plays Shylock, Rip Van Winkle, Pickwick, and Judas Iscariot.
He "wins much applause."
"He works hard and his act is a novelty, albeit, rather turgid at times."
