Miss Priscilla Carter bought this house to keep her two nieces from seeing their fiances of whom she disapproves. 1 he ( arters and their servants move into their new establishment one stormy, summer night and are met by the hunchback caretaker, Mr. Krupp. “Hobgoblin House,” unbeknown to its new owner, is at present the secret hiding place of a ring of kidnappers and their victim, a beautiful young society girl. Because Mr. Krupp is an accomplice to these kidnappers and does not wish them to be discovered, he invents a highly fantastic, blood curdling murder story in an attempt to scare the family back to town. Aunt Priscilla, a scientific-minded, sensible person, “pooh-poohs” all of Krupp s stories and remains resolute in her plans to stay, until she meets our two young men heroes (who have come to the Ozarks to see the girls and decided to scare Aunt Priscilla by dressing as ghosts). The plan fails, however, when she discovers their identities. Later on, the boys catch the kidnappers, release the millionaire girl and win the large sum offered as a reward. Now Aunt Priscilla consents to a double wedding and everyone, excepting the “crooks,” is happy. Miss Damon, who directed the play, deserves a great deal of credit lor making the play a success. Thanks, Miss Damon. Don McCumber
