Description "Cowan and Carney scored with their Irishisms, and Bob Bell sang in his old sweet way a couple of new ditties. Ivy Dale made a hit with her song about judging cigars. The advertised farce, W. B. Warner's The Tenement House, was not performed on 25 and 26 May; instead, Will Stewart concluded the performance with his clever ventriloquial entertainment."
