John Bdird, tho millionaire mine owner,
Chdrte Raymond, the lovable wine agent,
and funny Loote Meinheimer, the sweet
singing jew, happened to wander into
the lonely Long Island road house also.
In two seconds the whole back drop was
nickel plated with revolvers.
SO Ordcs the chorus girl got the bad
artist to come back to town with her and
60 over to the Little Church Around the
Corner 70 marry her. All the cast was in
the church, too, except the wronged young
mother, Gracets sistuh. But mother was in
tho wings snd at the right time Grace
substituted sistuh for herself in front of
the parson. So sistuh was honorably
married 70 the bad artist after all. and he
fell for IL because he was soused.
Blu whom he learned in the next scene
that he had been tricked into marrying

the only thing left for the villainous artist
to do when he saw that he vas foiled wa
to fire a revolver into q box Of gunootton,

liner from stem to stern and killed all the
villains except the artist, IL never scratched

When the tableau arrived all the ship had
sunk except the wheel house, but q police
boat happened along the ocean and picked

wine agent doubtless opened his own brand
for the cops; and 30 all evening when IL
wasn't one thing il was another.
