The act was twenty minutes long.
Tom Barry plays a messenger boy who has a dream about his idolized boy-detective hero, Nick Carter. In the dream, Nick Carter is defeated and Barry’s character “denounces dime novels forever.”
The sketch certainly pleased the audience and is "good for genuine laughter."
Barry is a good comedian, but the act needs to be shortened.
