This sketch entitled “The Trained Nurse” stars Gladys Clark and Henry Bergman, who previously had their own act.
Clark stars as a nurse and Bergman plays a perfectly healthy man who goes to the hospital because he is in love with that nurse. She agrees to marry him and they do five songs in total, flanked by ten chorus girls. Clark does a number in which the chorus girls walk across the stage dressed as the type of girls Bergman liked. They also do a lisping and stuttering number. The finish is a comic opera number.
