The sketch opens on a bare stage. Walter Daniels, playing an Eastern variety performer, then comes down the aisle and jumps over the footlights and onto the stage. He proceeds to “rehearse” with the orchestra and engages in some cross-fire talk with the spotlight man. It is similar to Victor Moore’s “Change Your Act”.
The act was twenty minutes long on the full stage.
The sketch revolves around two straight men, one in blackface, and a woman in a restaurant. The waiters are on strike, so one of the men recruits the man in blackface (a barber) to serve him. The comedy evolves into singing a telephone number during which all of the lights are shut off, save for the light emanating from the mouthpieces of the telephone.
