THE Little DamozeP is about as
pleasing a little play as one could
wish to see. 1t puts you down into
the lives of four Englishmen and a
wild but charming maid who sings In
a cafe. One of the Englishmen is
very rich and wicked and with his
money he keeps the cafe and orches-
ira running SO that The Little Damo-

her. Recklaw Poole is a young Eng

the girl loves him.
Poole agrees and they are wed he
telling her that he has inherited
fortune They are blissfully happy, in
a little fat, until Poole discovers that
the rich Englishman threw over The
Little Damozel' in order to marry a
fine girl with whom Poole was once
in love. Then he tells all concerned
of his disgraceful bargain, saving the
girl he once loved but losing The
Little Damozel."
Il looks as If the life of ''The Lit
tie Damozel" was ruined. She will
not even go back TO the cafe, where
kind old Papa the orchestra lead

and the sunshine she used TO bring
into the old place. But her fortunes
turn against her, so that, one night,

back to the old cafe II happens to be
the night on which Poole is saying

Little Damozel" TO forgive him. She
cannot. But suddenly a quiet, doleful
little broken down earl who has been
making a living by selling insurance,
takes a hand He tells The Little
Damozel' that Poole has insured his
life in her favor and intends TO com.
init suicide.
II cant get along without you"

at last, as she throws her arms about
his neck.
