Lauder and Mortland
Charles and Fanny Van and Co.
This skit entitled “From Stage Carpenter to Ackter” was twenty-two minutes long.
Charles and Fanny Van play a vaudeville team. Charles’ character used to be a stage carpenter and Fanny has just divorced her husband and former vaudeville partner. They sing a song and ask the audience for laughs so that they’ll get another booking. When the audience laughs, Charles takes a picture of them as proof. He announces at the end that he accidentally took all of the pictures on one roll, so none of them will turn out. They do some more parodies and then a “Rest in Peace” horseshoe is passed over the footlights.
When Pat Was King
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Nawn play the Professor and his wife and the three scenes of the play are shown in two sets – the Professor’s studio and the royal tent of the “King of Mahore” which is especially beautiful.
