32 min, F.S. George Hobart again scores a big hit in this sketch. It is brilliantly presented, and although it is quite long it could hold the audience a full hour, with constant laughter and applause. It concerns the difficulties of a young married couple, and the persistancy [sic] of the husband to go off and get loaded and play the races every time he and his wife quarrel. This theme is used merely as an incident in the clever work of White and Stuart as peace-makers, and to allow Miss Stuart to introduce some of her songs and dancing specialties, all of which are very stunning, and a hot time of race horses chatter. The laughter was so prolonged that the players couldnot [sic] be heard. It is certainly the best vehicle that these clever people have yet had. It fairly sparkles with John Henry humor. The papers say it is his masterpiece sketch, for it is the logical headliner over all others.
