Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1902-11-21
MR.. KORK OF NEW YORK.
Will Be Presented at the Armory BY the
O'Callaghans Next Week.

WnaGWlll no DOUBT be the most en-
joyable entertainment of the season
will occur next Wednesday and Thurs
day, Nov. Goth and 9th, at the ar
mory, when the O'Callaghans, now
well known throughout the state on
account of several appearances on the
Chautauqua stage, will present the
great three act farce, ''Mr. Kork of
New York. The o. Callaghans take
it upon themselves to guarantee two
things: One that the play will
please, and the other is that the house
will be heated to temperature that
will be comfortable, on both nights of
the play. The piece will play about
two hours and the curtain will be rung
up at $3.50. 'sMr. Kork of New
York; is thoroughly modern play,
full of wit, and free from everything
unpleasant. The plot, while like all
farces, is not heavy, is sufficiently in
teresting to keep one thinking. 1t
rests upon scheme to get rid of sew
eral of Mr.. Kork's relatives, who are
visiting at. his home, and who have
kept him and Mrs. Kork from enjoy
ing their honeymoon. Kork enters
into compact with his cook who
turns out to be ''the whole thing" in
the household, and calls the servants
out on strike when things do not go
to her liking. She is backed by Mr..
Kork, in this, who hopes that the
cooks cooking and pranks will compel
the relatives to go. A hen pecked
husband and his wife-Mrs. Kork s
brother and wife-are the visiting
relatives. An old maid sister of
Kork's is also an Objectionable guest
and the plans to get rid of her are
peculiarly funny. Mrs: Kork and
Miss Kork, the old maid, are mistaken
for each other-on account of some in
formation given the German count,
and this leads into more entangle-
ments. The second act discloses two
rooms of the Kork household and is
one of tho cleverest pieces of stage
craft ever invented. The servants
finally take possession OF the house and
| give masked ball. The scheme
finally works, and the general and his
wife leave, and Kork leaves home fol
his honeymoon tour, leaving Mrs.
Kork's brother and wife in possession
of the semises. The old major too
finally wins the old maid.
There is not minute of dullness in
the piece, and while it is not on the
rough and tumble order, the piece is
continuous laugh. The cast will
