Her best selection was a pretty new Scotch
song which brings out the neatest thing
in Scotch costuming that has been seen.

This musical comedy entitled “The Producer” was fifty-eight minutes long on the full stage.
“The sketch is described as a one-act spectacular farce in three scenes.” The scenes include a reception room, a stage door, and a rehearsal.
Fridkin’s Boyarren Russian Troupe
The act was ten minutes long on the full stage.
A Russian troupe sings and does “Russian and whirlwind dancing” complete with cartwheels and somersaults. The troupe is made up of husky men and comely women.
Charles E. Wildisch and Co.
This sketch entitled “The Pool Room” is a moralistic tale about young men who frequent pool rooms. There are two full pool tables onstage and the interior is meant to look like a cheap pool room. A boy (played by Ezra F. Kendall Jr.) soon runs inside, claiming to have shot a man. An older crook (Charles Wildisch) then takes the blame for him when the detectives arrive. The older man then takes poison and dies, but not before “begging his younger companions to go home and stay there.”
Ellis’ Eight Hawaiians
The act was eighteen minutes long on the full stage.
Six men and two women, native Hawaiians, play Hawaiian instruments and dance. A piccolo players gets a solo in the opening number. One of the women (“somewhat stout”) does a native dance.
