Comic dialogue and bits.
La France and Howland, the new formation of the former La France and Bruce "jail" act in blackface, did quite big, "No. 2," though the comedian was suffering from chest trouble that almost destroyed his voice. Some new bits have been put in the act and the "fighting finish" that is similar to that (excepting the dancing) used by Miller and Lyles has been so switched about the similarity is not as marked as formerly.
