“Court by Girls”
The act was twenty-eight minutes long. A “cissified” male defendant (Tom Ward), is tried by a six member female jury before a female judge (Daisy Belmore) for having fallen in love with the plaintiff (Estelle Theband). The jury box and court tables were decorated with a pink color scheme, giving the set an “unmistakable feminine touch.” The act included individual solos and several “trot” bits. There was suspicion of “plants”, due to “unwonted applause vigor in a certain section of the house.”
