Type: Sketch - Comedy

This sketch entitled “A Doctored Widow” was fourteen minutes long. The backdrop is a lounge of a steamship. Peggy Gordon (Irene H. Gurney) is a seasick widow and Bill Dunstin (Tom Kyle) is a bachelor who plays along when she mistakes him for a doctor. A “colored cabin boy called ‘Texas'” almost tells her Dunstin’s secret, but Dunstin prevents it with a pie to his face. For the finale, the widow agrees to marry the “doctor”.
