: 13 Mins.; One. Fritz Walton and Meta Brandt are offering the usual man and woman two-act with a couple of songs and a little talk. The turn will answer nicely in an early spot on the big time bills. They open with a song, following with some baseball talk, the comedy of which comes from the man, who claims to be an expert on the national sport, misnaming all of the prominent players in his endeavours to explain the game on the girl. For the finish another song is used with incidental business that is effective. Vaudeville is more or less a business of accidents, and during the playing of this act Tuesday night bone happened that the team might well keep in, for it is sure fire for laughs. One of the chairs that are used for the seats in the baseball stand collapsed and the man of the couple was quick-witted enough to make the best of what might have been an award situation, to secure laughs.
