19 min. “Brother Fans.” The sketch is a baseball story by Tom Barry and was published in magazine form. Lewis is a well known star, formerly of George Cohan’s company. He plays the role of an American baseball fan in London and fits the comedy character into a dramatic playlet. The sketch has some tense moments, but there is always a comedy line to lighten it up and it finished to a good hand. Lewis closes with a monologue hit that kept the audience in a roar of laughter and is a gem as an encore.
