In “the Rube.” Mr. Barry portrays the yankee character, that of the “Rube” who is anxious to join a theatrical troupe. Mrs. Barry as the soubrette. The comedy is in two scenes; the “stage door” and the “stage”. The skit contains plenty of bright lines and good comedy. Mr. Barry’s song on “Marching through Georgia” in which he uses all the song hits for a foundation was a scream. An excellent act and I think one of the best ever presented by this couple. Special drops in one and one and a half. 24 minutes.
