“A Turn of the Knob” Louise Dresser is this week presenting here for the first time in vaudeville, Matthew White and May Tully’s playlet “A Turn of the Knob,” a highly amusing farce. The farcical action is built around the invasion by a woman life insurance agent of the apartment of a young man on the eve of his wedding. In attempting to hurry her from the room the young man jerks the knob from the door, which then can be opened only from the outside. Thus the situation is manufactured. In clearing up the complication the young man loses his bride but gains the insurance agent (Miss Dresser). George W. Howard was the bridegroom and Edward Langford a third number of the company.
