Mr. Jackson is discovered by his wife while attending a ball with his ‘“‘affinity.”’ In the picturesque language of the day, she doesn’t do a thing to them, and finally leads the repentant Jim home by the ear. A coon song of the musichall variety is introduced, and the record will amuse those who like this kind of specialty.
Jimmie and Maggie at the Ball Game
The Bowery chums go to the ball game—and, hully gee, but it was great! Maggie’s rapid-fire comments on the game are quite characteristic of her, and the record is full of laughs. Katrina’s Valentine
Katrina hears the postman’s whistle and is delighted to receive a valentine from her Heinie. She comments on it in her little German way, and gets the poetry sadly mixed. After singing about her Captain, who is cruising on a German whaler, she is surprised by his sudden appearance. Some loving conversation ensues, interrupted by music and kisses, and the record closes with a real wooden-shoe dance. Louis and Lena _ Lena arrives at the gate of Luna Park looking for her Louis, who had promised to meet her. The gatekeeper attempts to have fun with the little German maiden, but he is kept busy trying to amuse himself at her expense. Louis finally arrives, and after a little affectionate by-play, they sing, ‘ Meet Me Down at Luna, Lena.”’
Mandy and Her Man
Miss Jones’ darky talk is very real and the way she pitches into James one moment and wheedles him the next is quite amusing. All ends merrily and Jim goes for the license, first borrowing a dollar for the purpose from his future bride!
Meet Me Down at the Corner Irish sketch
Minnie and Herman
Minnie appears and warbles coyly of ‘‘A nice little German whose front name is Herman.’’ The gentleman himself then arrives, and being up-to-date, comes in an auto runabout.
They start out merrily, and Herman invites a smash-up by steering with one hand while he embraces Minnie with the other. The question is popped and the lady gives him his answer in one of her cute little German songs.
Pauline, Otto and Fido
The problem which our German friend is “‘up against”’ in this little sketch is one which has puzzled lovers in many different strata of society—namely, ‘‘Which does she love best, the dog or me?’’ Otto fails to solve the problem here, and is forced to accept Pauline and Fido on equal terms.
The duet between Otto and Fido is one of the funniest happenings in a most amusing record.
