Yawning Crowd Frays Nerves in Odd Public Sketch
A Philadelphia Press report describes a crowded scene where performers’ attempts at a routine fail to engage a bored audience. A man in the corner yawns repeatedly, causing others to stifle laughter as the act drags on and the conductor tires. The piece ends noting a shift to New Zealand with a mention of the Chira.
