Dialogue.
"The Real Mr. Q," with a new cast, held close attention once the audience wised up to what it was about. Some of the dialog needs doctoring. After one of the robbers has been told that a suit case (the only one in sight) was worth $500, he grabs it up later and says to his pal, "here's a case, Jimmy, it's empty," etc. That line, 'All mother-in-laws are crazy," doesn't belong. The man doing the supposed McCready was too stagey and the impression was not as smooth as possible. The Mullen character was convincing in bits. The man acting Q did fairly well, considering he follows a well known legit in the original role. Sketch, however, impressed.
