"Out of Work."
Howard Anderson and Mae Rean with their sure fire comedy sketch were next and were laugh bits of the bill with "Out of Work." It is a bedroom scene and the man hits the hay while friend wife is out hunting a job. This situation seems to tickle the risibilities of all classes for Arthur Sullivan played a sketch with a similar idea on the big time. Anderson is a good comic of the semi hick type, and although quite a bit of the dialog has been released, he makes it sound new with his excellent reading. Some talk about visitors, accompanied by business with the
mattress on the bed, got screams of laughter, but is in bad taste. The act is framed for indefinite booking on the small time.
