Clay modeling - This artistic work is presented within a sketch. The winter scene has two youngsters (a boy and girl) sliding down a hill, where a man waits at the bottom. After some talk and "snowballing," the man begins his clay model. Comedy is used in the usual way. The boy does a bit, "Jeff," and the girls finishes an "Irishman" when the artist leaves to remove clay from his eye. It was a good way to allow the girl to inject herself into the work.
The semi-patriotic finish was not handled well. They handle the art of clay modelling in a very different manner; they are more than a one man act.
