The sketch entitled “An All Night Session” was fourteen minutes long on the full stage. William H. Lytell’s first foray into vaudeville has him acting as a father who pretends to be involved with the Masons. He shows his daughter Mabel’s (Catherine Husslam) husband (played by John McMahon) how to pretend to be a mason in order to stay out late playing poker without a scolding.
"The act registered a great amount of laughs and was heartily appreciated."
"Mr. Lytell will find a welcome in vaudeville. Mr. McMahon attracted special attention by his work and appearance."
