The audience was a particularly responsive one for the style of loud fun and slapstick
The comedy is the most elemental sort of horseplay. In one act, the second of the three, was packed all the rough house business that the burlesque shows depend upon In a pinch. There was a double table scene that lasted over ten minutes with accompaniment of much messy throwing about of food; there was also unlimited assault and battery of little Jeff with a slapstick, drinking of cocktails by Mutt's wife and finally a general melee In which everybody assaulted everybody else with a horsewhip.
