The sketch was fifteen minutes long on the full stage.
The sketch was “bare stage” and the actors performed with no props. The plot concerned an actress who was asked to leave the company. After she leaves, a woman arrives and claims to be the stage manager’s deserted wife. After she has convinced the entire cast and crew of her plight, she reveals that she is actually the same actress they fired that day. Convinced of her true skill, the company welcomes her back and offers her the lead role in the play.
The act was twelve minutes long.
A man and woman start a conventional song and dance routine, but the man’s good dancing and the woman’s “horseplay” set the act apart.
The act was thirteen minutes long on the full stage.
Two brothers frame a sketch around their whistling. One brother performs in “pleasing low tones” while the other has a higher register.
Two sisters sing and dance. Their opening material is nothing new or unusual, but they do “an eccentric song and dance in outlandish garb that just hit the audience right.”
The act was twenty minutes long on the full stage.
The company presents a comedy sketch with a consistent story.
The man play a “rube” and the woman plays “a likely looking soubret.”
The act was eleven minutes long.
This African American song and dance team succeeds mainly on the strength of the man’s dancing. He dances in the style of the late Joe Britton. The woman makes two costume changes during the act.
This male and female team sings and dances, with “a lot if cross-fire patter” mixed in. The “gags” they do are out of date, but the man delivers them well enough for them to be appreciated by the audience.
