"The Headliners" The thread
hinges around a male team from the
west who secure an opening at the
house to show their act Upon arrival
they find themselves headlined, but after
the first show are canned. They
are ejected from the theatre and take
up quarters outside the stage door.
Shortly after the property man appears
and apologizes for kicking them out of
the theatre, saying he had made a mistake,
that the management liked the
act and had sent them out a contract
for ten weeks. The act which was
dropped in their place is a single
woman. She leaves the theatre depressed,
but on the outside meets the
team, one member of which is her husband They had been separated, but
with the turn of luck for hubbv are reunited
and the double expands into a
trio.
