Two men and two women. Sketch “The Taming of the Beast.” In the first place cut “get out of the way you pot-wrestler.” For this house this act cannot be considered with other first class sketches that appear here regular. The theme of the sketch is anything but refined, the acting is poor and the epithets hurled at father, son, servant, and finances are not exactly suitable to our class or attractions. Mr. Kiernan may be a good actor, but he does not show it in this sketch. I would not care to play it again, and I shiver when I think what the newspapers will do to it tomorrow morning. C.D.F. in 3. 20 min.
