This act entitled “The Phoney Photographer” was seventeen minutes long. Allman has replaced Mehlinger in the trio.
Stepp plays a man who poses as a photographer to earn some money from King, who plays a stage-struck “nance”. Allman plays his valet in blackface, “using a pleasing, darkey dialect.” He sings Bert Williams’ song “Constantly” with a twist. He then does an eccentric dance in troubadour makeup. For the finish, Stepp plays the banjo and King plays the piano while Allman clowns around.
This “school act” was fourteen minutes long.
John J. Black plays the professor at a school and two men and a woman play the students. They sing and dance and inject some comedy into their routine. One of the actors plays a “hare-lipped Patsy” who handles comedy well and gets a lot of laughs.
The choisters appear from the darkened stage one after the other, their faces alone being illuminated in the centre of a picture frame.
The stage setting is neat and tasteful. Miss Haney is well provided with fine feathers.
The act was thirteen minutes long on the full stage.
A woman plays the straight to a man who performs in Dutch dialect. They open with some conversation and then the man plays the concertina and the piano. The woman sings a comedy song and they finish with a duet on the bells.
