The act entitled “Waiting for Mr. Booker” was nineteen minutes long. Two Amazonian women enter the stage. The skit is about two vaudeville actresses out of work, waiting for their agent Mr. Booker. He is expected to call with a “job”.

The show was fourteen minutes long. The Drop reveals an athletic field. A young man in a running suit enters having come last in the race. His sister, having bet money on him, pans him.

They finish with a duet.
