Comic dialogue.
Paradoxical as it may sound the unusually "cold" house, seemed to be warm in its approval of the turn, at certain flashes of wit.
"Wanted, a Cook," four-people sketch, will pass muster on the email time. The opening is weak, lifeless and hollow with not a bit of action. With the appearance of the "cook," in the guise of a young man, in answer to an advertisement, things brighten up somewhat with a few comedy lines. The finish is likewise punchless.
