The wife was upset that her husband brought her to such a raunchy show (I think she says something along the lines of; "This show is nothing but tits and ass!"). The husband tells her to keep quiet, and stop making a scene, at which point the wife stands up to walk out, and the husband trys to pull her back to her seat, but instead "accidently" tears off her dress. She does a nice little EUF scream, covers up, and runs for the exit. It's a standard burlesque bit, but it's a good one. If I remember correctly, the woman is attractive and well dressed, possibly wearing a fur coat. She ends up in black bra and panties, with a garter belt and stockings. Does anyone know the name of this show (or better yet, have a clip)? If I could just remember the title of the show, I could probably locate a clip.

It's been a long time since I posted this request, but I just remembered the punchline of the bit. After the wife runs out of the theater, the husband (still holding his wife's dress) turns to the camera and says; "Well, at least she won't have any trouble getting a cab", then he sits back down to enjoy the show. A perfect EUF gag, with a perfect punchline. Does that jog anyone's memory?
