Miss Linta Patton is a talented elo-

The play was short but interesting. The
hero, Jimmy Wilson is in the act of pro
posing to his pretty stenographer DorO-
thy, when O woman enters the office
who greets Jimmy affeetionately and
claims to be his wife Dolly. Dorothy is
Mortified and leaves at once. In the
second scene Jimmy attends a masked
ball and is about to open converse
ton with woman whom he does not
recognize as Dorothy. But she recog-
nizes Jimmy and gives him the shock
of his life, when she calls him wretch
"coward' and "beast" and bids him
be gone. The third scene is in the office
the next morning. Dorothy has just told
Jimmy that she will leave his employ
at once when an attendant from the
asylum enters to apologize for any trou-
BILE that ay have been caused by a
erzy womn the day before. The attend
ant leaves and Jimmy and Dorothy fall
into each others arms and-well the
curtain puts an untimely end to the
love scene.
