This sketch entitled “Mien Liebschen” and written by Joseph Hart was twenty-two minutes long on the full stage.
The plot revolves around two German men who came to the United States as youngsters to become famous musicians. They did not, and now depend on one of the men’s daughters who works in a department store. The manager of the store eventually asks her to marry him, but the older men doubt his intentions. The manager and the daughter convince the men of his sincerity. The comedy comes from a “shop girl” character who is also in love with the manager but does not get her way.
This sketch entitled “Before the Rehearsal” was nineteen minutes long on the full stage.
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.
