“Little Nap.”

Type:
12 Mins.; Full Stage. “Little Nap” is another “educated monk,” titled after his dress, a military uniform, with a Napoleonic hat. “Nap” does most of his work on the stage, alone, riding a bicycle, and also piloting a motorcycle, with a side attachment in which is another monk, distinctly new in this sort of turn. The finish is a bedroom suite, made more complete than most of the others, the monk undressing, and the finish arriving when he jumps into bed. Too much time is given to the different bits in the opening. But the act doesn’t overrun, 12 minutes. Had “Little Nap” arrived fast, and so on, the same here as with a lot of others who thought of it something after it had happened! They may do it better, but they do it too late. The same with plays. Opening the Palace show “Nap” did well, and will be generally liked.
