Two men singing and talking comedy. Open in one with one of the men sitting in the orchestra. The other makes an apology for the non-arrival of a cook, who he had engaged and then starts to sing, when he is interrupted continually by the other fellow, who is in the audience, with some good cross-fire conversation, which brings the laughs. The cook is finally invited on the stage and they proceed to the restaurant. Curtain rises showing their own drop, containing numerous placards on the style of the old Harding & Ah Sid drop. The reading of the signs causes a general ripple, then a buzz finally developed into a general uproar. The two men appear and have extremely funny business and close in one, singing an extemporaneous song, which is ineffective and allows them to leave the stage with a good hand. Thoroughly all right if not on too late. 22 min.
