This 20 minute long "Girl" Act has Chas. De Haven and Jack Sidney carrying six girls and four special drops. The sketch begins with the boys in a New York hotel lobby on the telephone. They are conversing, through song, with the girls who are staged throughout the audience in empty boxes. The girls are supposed to be in Pennsylvania Station. Another scene has them in a snow scene singing "Winter." The visual effects and acting during this scene causes one to believe that the cast should wear mittens. However, this effect is lacking throughout the rest of the scenes.
Nothing worth while ever happens throughout the entire sketch; the act is crude and unfinished. Overall it lacks stage management, requires more than the cheap clothing on the girls, and more sophisticated dancing steps. De Haven and Sidney have not supplied the production well.
