"a Runaway Match"

This bright comedy will be at the
Stanley Opera House next Saturday
night, and will no doubt be presented to
a crowded house. The plot is clever and
the scenes and dialogue all help to bring
out hearty laughs. A young lawyer
elopes with a widow much older than
himself, intending to marry her when
they have reached the city at the end of
their journey. The train is wrecked at a
lonely New England village and the rum
away pair put up at a lonely country
inn for the night. Caught spooning by
the puritanical landlady, they are forced
to call themselves man and wife to keep
from being turned out in the rain. In
the same train are wrecked the elderly
father of the lawyer and the schoolgirl
daughter of the widow, who are eloping
The two pairs confront each other, each
claiming to be married. However, owing
to the intricate relationships formed by
these unions, the parties to them be-
come dissatisfied, quarrel with each
other, and fall in love with each other $
supposed mates. The complications
thicken with another runaway, each
man taking the Others claimed wife, and
after the affair is mtangled the trade in
wives is found satisfactory to all parties
concerned and all ends happily.
