Dialogue with straight and comic characters.
William Gaxton, assisted by a company of four, presented a clever skit written by Rupert Hughes. Mr. Gaxton's style has a good deal to do with the success. He rends lines in a style all his own — surely surpassing the author's fondest thoughts. The playlet seems unbalanced at times, where the star has too much to do, Gaxton having the "fat" lines is O. K., but the comedy is more like a two-act's crossfire — feed and laugh, feed and laugh while the third party sits quietly.
