Mr. & Mrs. Gardner Crane

Type:
Protean farce, “Everybody’s Up”: 30 min. F.S. 2 shows. On at 9:00. In this act Mr. and Mrs. Crane portray no less than 12 distinct characters, and each one of them bears upon the theme of the story. It is a case of stolen diamonds in which twelve people are consecutively called in and accused. Each part was taken with excellent character portrayal, and the various changes received applause. The interest in the act was sustained and the comedy fully satisfied. The finish in which the husband of the woman who has lost her diamonds comes in intoxicated and displays the necklace which he has used as a watch-chair, got a big laugh. This act would make good anywhere.
