Story of "The Girl From Chilli"
There is stopping at Atlantic City,
N. j., during the summer season Rob-
ert Lightheart, who occupies a cottage,
and with him lives his Aunt Primrose,
a fussy old maid. In Homer Doomsby
Bob has boon friend who has just re-
turned from abroad. While out of town
on brief visit Robert meets his fathers
old friend, Mr.. Bullwinkle. and his
ward, Juanitta (the girl from Chilly.
Bullwinkle, who is guardian of the girl,
is holding in trust for her certain mon
eys which, as proclaimed by her de-
ceased fathers will, shall remain in
Bullwinkle's keeping until the girl mar
ries. During their recent travels
through Chill she found many admirers,
among them Homer Doomsby His ac
quaintance with her was merely an act
of Irritation, but the girl takes matters
seriously, and he leaves for Atlantic

his ward in the hope that she would
wean from her lover. Bob invites them
to his house, and they promise to ac-
cept his offer on the following day. Up
on Bob's arrival home Homer drops in
and tells him of his scrape with GER
tain young woman and begs his assist
ance out of the difficulty. Bob counsels
with him and learns the name of the
girl, who proves to be Juanitta. He
informs Homer that she and her guard
ian will soon arrive, but before he has
time to make his escape the servant
announces their arrival. The only al
tentative to evade detection is for Ho
! mer to robe himself in the dress Of Aunt
| Primrose. Bullwinkle and ward are
| ushered in and introduced to Homer as
| Bob's aunt Complications commence
| to multiply from then on, for the real
| aunt appears upon the scene and is said
| by Bob to be insane, while the same
! yarn he tells the aunt of Juanitta. Old
| Bullwinkle takes a great fancy to the
| supposed aunt, and Bob begins to think
that he really likes Juanitta Harriatta
pops in inquiring for Homer, for their
wedding hour was fast approaching.
| The dilemma that Homer is placed in
upon her arrival and the vexed problem
of warding off the caresses of old Bull
| Wrinkle finds food for the most laugh
able play that was ever written. In
point of plot it is after the Charley
| Aunt" order, though those who have
| seen both claim that 1.-THE Girl from
| Chilli" is far more laughable and as
| played by Joseph Muller's capable COM
! pany Of players is proving the laughing
hit of the season. Seats are now on
