In “A Base Ball Episode.” Comedy base ball sketch, three men, one woman. The act opens with a moving picture showing a ball game, then goes to exterior set representing outside of ball park. There is a lot of comedy and action between the various participants in the piece, some of which gained laughs and a good amount of which went by without creating any impression. All in all the act scored moderately well, achieving a moderately strong finish. It looks as though it would be the kind of offering that would not be greatly appreciated except by a “fan audience.” Special set in 5, 19 minutes.
