Sketch: “The Absent Minded Beggar.” Man and woman. This act made a distinct hit and is really one of the best things we have had here in the sketch line since the house opened. The old soldier as impersonated by Nugent is an admirable piece of work and it may be recorded to his credit that his efforts to please were crowned with unqualified success. It strikes me that this man is an actor of uncommon ability. He makes every word and gesture count and at no time overdoes things to attain the desired result. The ideas of the sketch is somewhat away from the usual theme.; there are many bright lines in the little play. His wife fulfills the demands in playing opposite to him satisfactorily. 19 minutes.
