the ads. The production did not last long and was replaced by "Rubes and Roses" on November 2. This act was also short-lived and was replaced by "I.O.U" on November 30. On December 12, it was noted that Kolb and Dill along with others from Fischer's would be departing before long, but "I.O.U" played through to at least the end of December with a special matinee on January 1, 1904. On January 7, it was announced that Kolb and Dill would finish their act at Fischer's at the end of the week and would prepare for to take their acts to Australia. After the tour's announcement, Kolb and Dill were in another act by a local burlesque instead of a Weber and Field's imitation. Their roles in "The Beauty Shop" production, by J. P. Crawford, resulted in well-preserved details of the acts from the local newspapers. Kolb and Dill play the roles of C. Schwabber Pilsner and Jay Bierpump Culmbacher, president of the "Pretzel Trust". In a role reversal, Kolb was the fat man and Dill the thin man after being treated by the doctor Madame Voluptia in her establishment. The two emerge from sleeping in the "fat and anti-fat rooms of the parlor" when Dill focused on his feet and said that he had not seen them in years. Then Dill turned the tables on Kolb, kicking him and blurting out, "You did this to me for years; now I get back at you." The exact date of the production was most likely begun on Monday January 11, 1904 and was first advertised in the papers as a success by the Fischer theater on January 12. The production would change to "Roly Poly", described as an original production by Fischer's theater, on February 8, 1904. Kolb and Dill would see through the end of the production, with their final farewell performance on March 6 before the start of a new production. The next production, "The Rounders", featured the prominent Richard F. Carroll and John P. Kennedy as their replacements at Fischer's. One unique act performed by Kolb and Dill prior to their departure was a special "turn" and a comedic roast by the duo as part of performance with the California State Retail Association in the audience. 1904 Australian tour On January 7, 1904, it was announced that Kolb and Dill would depart for a thirty-week tour of Australia
