Costumes.
A trio singing, a couple of lovers and
two blackface comedians are behind the
very good title of “A Night in the
Trenches,” the title being about the
best thing in the act. A trench barricade
is shown, behind which is a perspective
that suggests searchlights and
Zeps. A flash of a searchlight is seen
now and then.
Mechanical dancing doll.
Costume change and a dance.
Miss Flynn and Margaret Arnold are on either end of the girls, in blackface, while the other seven are in whiteface. Their costume changes went from gowns to Hula costumes.
Ben Mann is a semi-nut, perhaps having
fallen into that sort of characterization if it is that, to aid an uneasiness he appears to be laboring under, evident mostly when singing.
