The scene opens in Hawkhurst
Lord Crackenthorpe's country home
Lady Crackenthorpe is greatly an
noyed over her sons (Anthony's) in
terest in Miss O'Mara and her dau-
ghter, Peggy, his interest being due
to their common cause-spiders. In
order to distract Anthony's attention
from Peggy, Lady Crackenthorpe and
her brother, Major Phipps, decide that
her son Jimmy, must "dazzle" Peggy
Jimmy hesitates at first, but when he
meets her, he finds Peggy to be q
charming girl. She wishes to marry
her mother to Anthony and so, to
carry out plan she had made to this
end, all of sudden she goes to the
city, wiring back that she and Jimmy
are married.
She goes to Jimmy's fiat in London
She meets the gossip, Mrs. Colquhoun
Peggy's plan, however, has the de
sired effect and her mother is engag
ed to Anthony. Jimmy refuses t,
marry Peggy much as he would hk,
to, believing it is unfair to her.
Peggy returns to Hawkhurst, hear
broken and subdued. Major Phipps
always looking out for the good o.
the family, has sent a paragraph u
the Morning Post" telling of Jimmy
and Peggy's marriage. Of course
this must be contradicted. Pegg.
will do it herself, but meets Jimmy
on the way. Her plan of being frigid
but generous, and melting inch by incl
when she meets him, accomplishei
the desired result, The consequence.
of her suddenness were that she an,
Jimmy decide to patch up the tori
marriage license and the play closes
with very pretty picture to this eff
feet.
Howard Witcomb and Lois Bail
playing the leading parts of Jimm,
and Peggy, were the outstandin;
characters, considering the importanc,
of their parts. The heavier part o.
the theme of the play was placed OF
their shoulders and they impersonates
their roles with an art little short O.
perfection.
In the parsonage of Archie, playes
by Everett Fuhr, the audience founC
an abundance of humor. This indivi

Lady Crackenthorpe, the mother o
Jimmy and brother of Archie, pre-
