16 minutes, full stage, special set. 2 ladies, 5 men. Poor act, not one of the cast manifesting any ability worth speaking of. The comedy hinges upon hurling of missiles from the upper windows striking the heads of those standing underneath; A continual running up and downstairs of the collapsible kind which give way beneath them precipitating them to the floor. They rely upon this to a great extent to win laughs, but it fails they rely upon this to a great extent to win laughs, but it fails utterly of its purpose. The whole affair is weak, decidedly weak.
