zation is by George NJ. Cohan. If the
play appears to be a good deal CO.

an dthe somewhat naive humor, sug-
gestive of Mark Twain, can not be
entirely lost under the rearrangement
made to provide a stage story.

Through the love of WallinRford
for a lovely young girl, the rascals
finally are persuaded to put through
the scheme they have thought up in

ing. The thing succeeds. Every one
has money and Battleburg becomes
just what the rascals said it would
be.
