Comedy sketch, “In the Subway”. One woman, four men. This act got along quite well and the work of Miss Black, her leading man and one of the two comedians was quite favorably received. There were moments when things lagged, but not for long at a time, and there were a number of real good legitimate laughs. The act seemed to hold the interest of the audience throughout but for some unaccountable reason didn’t finish very strong, although I believe it should have done so. The act was an acceptable comedy offering and I believe it will go better during the week. Special set in 5, 21 minutes.
