Van Lear and Duke

Location:
Theater:
Date:
3 shows, 26 min, open full stage, close in 1. I think this is a capital 3-a-day comedy sketch. The woman is a cross between Mrs. Chas., Ellis and Margie Cline, the tone of her voice being at times like both. She does the talking while the man appears as a half witted person, making capital foil for his partner. The woman is also fair singer, her Irish ballads seeming to be appreciated by those left in the house to hear them. This is the sort of act I could give a better place to in the bill, if it were not so over crowded with other good material.
