Comic dialogue.
The Old Home Guard were next in view for No. 3 . spot, scoring occasional laughs. The opening scene consists of four tents, with a corporal walking post. Following the sounding of reveille, four old gents come to attention, while the captain calls the role. No. 4 man is responsible for laughter when he hesitates sounding his number, in order to take a chew of tobacco from his mouth. This is done several times. Mess is set and some more comedy follows, when several faces are covered with cream thrown at one another on account of an argument. Quite a dirty finish, nevertheless secured sufficient laughs.
