| molly, mas assumed the mistress place,
and so the two frauds 60 one courting
one another, each for the others sup
posed wealth. At this iuncture the
real lord and the opera queen
arrive, and highly ludicrous
situation arises. After affairs are
thoroughly tangled and untapgled, again
explanations are made, Lord McFee
marries the opera queen and O'Mara
marries the maid Molly, and all ends
happily. Mr.. Kelly's support is excel
opera queen and Florrie West as the
maid, with a bouquet of unusually at.
tractive girls. The costumes and scenes
are all new, one scene showing beau
tiful view of the Palisades on the Hud-
son being particularly attractive.
