Well, he of course , wasn't ready to come on stage when the time came, so the actors on stage started making small talk which sounded really corny in the eyes of the theatre people working on the show. Then in runs the Lead with his pants barly on and his shirt completely undone. This really made the audience laugh. Then he says: "I thought the Japanese had invaded our fort when I heard the radio - oh well i guess i was wrong, what were you guys talking about before i came in?" As he finished dressing, the dialogue continued and nobody was the wiser! Fascinating how the Audience can be so Niave!
