Dialogue.
"The Mormons" in theme seems related to the Sallie Fisher piece, "The Choir Rehearsal." While partly rearranged the idea is the same, with the young girl expelled from the community for singing a hymn in church that was not a hymn. So she and her sweetheart (who had entered the household as a surveyor) were pronounced out for the time being. They insisted the song be sung as heard originally, something they did, and before long they all were engaged in rendering the selection. Much comedy is derived from slap stick, and the skit on the whole is a novelty, although hardly suitable for anything but the better small time houses at present.
