"Under Cover"

Under Cover" another hot weather
play, will be presented this evening by
the stock company. Under Cover" is
comedy in three acts, somewhat diff
ferent in plot from the other plays OF
the nature, heretofore presented at the
Island Park theater. The trouble hinges
on the secret marriage of the butler
and the housekeeper, their consequent
hOffspring and their efforts to conceal
the fact of their union from their en-
ployers, they having secured the sit
uation by representing themselves to
be unmarried. Uncle Blizzard happens
along, with a puppy, which he presents
to the lady of the house against the
express wish and desire of her liege
lord and master. The housekeeper's
baby and the mistress dog get mixed
and confusion reigns supreme for a
time, but the genius of the playwright
straightenS matters out, after having
provided many ludicious situations and
laughable climaxes. Under Cover
will be the attraction Tuesday and
Wednesday, with the usual Wednesday

woman. Their son Donald will accom-
pany them. He is a member of the
Belfast High school and plays on the
ball team He has been pitching during
