The act entitled “The Other One”, was twenty-two minutes long on the full stage. Mr. and Mrs. Crane are newly weds in the piece. Mr. Crane becomes mixed in May wheat and must leave his wife at the home of his brother in the country, while he travels to town. The brother, who is unknown to “wifey”, returns and is mistaken for her husband due to family resemblance. The husband misses his train and returns to the house to be mistaken for his brother by another woman (Claire Vincent). Several complications ensue.
The audience gave strict attention to the playlet.
The sketch lacks newness and novelty. Mr. Crane does well in the double role. Miss Vincent and Frank Gardner give good support; however, Miss Vincent was overdressed. The act is not weighty, and contains none of the spontaneous laughs of their former pieces.
