The act entitled “Waiting for Mr. Booker” was nineteen minutes long. Two Amazonian women enter the stage. The skit is about two vaudeville actresses out of work, waiting for their agent Mr. Booker. He is expected to call with a “job”. After seven minutes of talking about “nothing” one says “We’ll Pretend we’re going to the theatre and put on our evening clothes.” Miss Brehany sings, and Miss Ambrose plays the piano, the violin, and vocalizes.
The women had musical talent, but "little or no gifts as actresses."
