“My Busy Day”: 20 min. F.S. close in 1. 2 shows. This act went fairly well from the start. The part of the office-boy was a little bit overdone, but it is funny, and there was a good deal of laughter. The theme is not new. It represents a lawyer’s office-boy who takes charge of his employer’s office. He opens letters, one of which is from a woman asking for his assistance in procuring a divorce from her husband, and from another woman who has been bitten “on the veranda” by a dog. The former of the two women comes to the office for consultation. The boy thinks it is the woman bitten by the dog, and there is a good deal of funny talk in consequence of the blunder. The songs and dances with which the act is embellished are fairly good and were well received. The close in 1, in which Miss Beaumont appears in a stunning Spanish costume and sings a romantic song of Mexico, gives a very effective finish to the entire act.
