 "Inside the Lines" scored such a crashing hit in New York that it ran for a full season. Afterwards it was presented in various cities throughout the country and easily won the approval and plaudits of those who were fortunate enough to see it. It is the tale of German secret agent who is not a secret agent, but an agent of the British Government. The Wilhelrnstrasse sends the spy, whose number is 1892, to brow up the fortress of Gibraltar and the British Grand Fleet when it is assembled. In the course of his .dventures through Germany he meets an American girl and a TO- nance eliminates.
 During this time the girl thinks that he is a German agent, but he later discloses hir'9n'f as none oth CT than Cavendish the best spy of the service in the British Secret Service.
