This “school act” was fourteen minutes long.
John J. Black plays the professor at a school and two men and a woman play the students. They sing and dance and inject some comedy into their routine. One of the actors plays a “hare-lipped Patsy” who handles comedy well and gets a lot of laughs.
Black plays the teacher well and keeps the audience on his side as he switches from comedy to pathos and back to comedy. "The act is a good live number for the time and should have no trouble keeping busy."
