In 1922, men were still wearing collars, something that was added to one's shirt. They were usually quite stiff, and must have been uncomfortable. Below is a 1922 ad depicting a man wearing a shirt collar. The ad calls it "little," so it must have been deemed smaller compared to earlier models, perhaps those designed to be worn by older men.
Tangerine was a musical comedy that opened on Broadway in 1921. I wonder if the play Stanford and Hanford saw was a touring company version or a college production? Here is the synopsis:

Dick Owens gets jailed with his three friends, he for a brawl and his friends for not paying alimony. Owens is visited in jail by Shirley Dalton, the girl he loves. She has decided not to marry him until his jailed friends are happily back with their wives. Owens takes his friends then escapes to Tangerine, a South Sea isle run by King Home-Brew, an American expatriate. In Tangerine, the women do all the work while the men stay at home. Eventually the men are sick of the stay at home life, and all couples are reunited.Doesn't sound like a very good play.
