For this sketch three characters are needed, the Director who explains the show, and two convicts who will be funnier if dressed in appropriate stripes. There are seven episodes, one for or each day in the week.
"First Day": The two convicts enter the stage, each from the opposite side. Each man has his right hand extended, as if he were marching in lock-step-with a line of
men in front of him. When these convicts pass each other in the center of the stage, a conversation ensues. This conversation makes up the act. The first convict says to the second, "Hello!" They pass each other, but the second convict does not answer.
"Second Day": They pass as before. This time the second convict replies, "Hello!"
"Third Day": They enter in lock step as before and the first convict says to the second, "What are you in for?"
"Fourth Day": Second convict says to first, "Murder!"
"Fifth Day": They enter as before. The first convict asks of the second, "How long is your sentence?"
"Sixth Day": The second convict replies, "A year!"
"Seventh Day": The first convict says, "Lucky for you. I'm in for two years. Please mail this letter for me."
