2 shows, 22 min. full stage—Assisted by James R. Lee, in the comedy sketch, “Suppressing the Press” This sketch is very original in its conception, dealing with the trials of a man and wife who each imagine they have killed the wife’s brother; the husband by shooting, and the wife running him down in an auto. Each one keeps their secret from the other, but the wife’s brother makes things rather lively in the way of racking their nerves. The situations are funny and the dialogue is quite bright. It does not go as smooth as it will later on, and I believe the casts might be improved upon. It scored lots of laughter throughout and I think it will prove a good sketch anywhere.
