This “sister act” was fourteen minutes long.
Sterling and Hutton open with a sister act, but it is obvious that the larger “sister” is a man. The girl does a kid song in rompers and the man wears a bathing suit for a song and takes off his wig when it is over. The girl does another kid number while the man changes into men’s clothes. They finish with another song and dance.
The act was ten minutes long on the full stage.

A young man and woman quarrel on the street and part ways to the accompaniment of a song. They walk onto a special office set and each sit on either side of a wall.
