The Still Alarm

The fun lies in the manner in which it is put out

In the face of most exciting danger, the characters play in the well bred manner of English drawing room actors

All amenities are preserved, even when two firemen come in

One of these might be called a practicing professional, but the other is an amateur musician

Although the fire under them becomes hotter every moment, he begins to tune his fiddle

Against a background of flames seen outside, he advances to the center of the stage and begins to play "Keep the Home Fires Burning"
