THE VAUDEVILLE TWO-ACT The word "two-act" is used to describe any act played by two people. It has nothing to do with the number of scenes or acts of a drama. When two people present a "turn," it is called a two-act. It is a booking-office term--a word made necessary by the exigencies of vaudeville commerce. If the manager of a theatre requires an acrobatic act to fill his bill and balance his show he often inquires for an acrobatic two-act.
