Of the members of the Heart Breakers
Club" an organization aiming to cor
rect the wrongs which members have
suffered at the hands of bewtching
feminine heartbreakers, by conducting
new conquests and chastening the
spirit of the conquered. The adven-
lures of some of the experienced mem
bers as well as of the newer members
provide many humorous situations. In
contrast TO the usual musical comedy
the male members of the
chorus alone occupy the stage at the
opening and the chorus ladies do not
appear until after the first act is well
advanced In the end the master heart
