The Soup and the Fish Ball Synopsis

A comic number, featuring two Irish characters. Their dress suits are stolen on the eve of a ball and each thinks the other guilty. They meet at the ball and a "rough house" ensues. This is entirely of the knockabout style of humor and makes only an average offering of the kind.

One Night Synopsis

The Gentleman Drunk returns to the hotel about midnight, climbing into bed with his silk hat on. Upstairs the Ham Actor climbs through the window and down a rope, beating his board bill. Across the hall, talking in whispers the Girl and her fiancé plan an elopement, enraged at parental objections to kissing in the hotel parlor. Hearing the Ham Actor scuffling down the wall on the rope, the Drunk staggers to the window and peers out, his silk hat falling to the ground below. Stealthily he creeps downstairs and onto the sidewalk to regain it. In the meantime the Girl and Man are ready for flight, but the irate parents catch them. The Drunk loses his nightgown, and to hide from some girls entering the hotel, rolls up in a rug and runs wildly through the halls. The Ham Actor has aroused the guests of the hotel, who think him a burglar. Nora in the kitchen is entertaining the Cop. Together they capture the Ham Actor and finally discover the Drunk in hiding under the sofa.
