dramatic acting impossible, but the cast fitted right into the spirit of thc play, and the result was really hilarious. The scene opens with the taxi driver calling at the Simmons home to return a lady's hand-bag left in Mr, Simmons' taxi the night be-fore, or I should say this morn- ing! , by his niece . How do you know it was his niece? , in- quires Mrs. S., immediately sus- picious. She called him uncle explains the cabby innocently. When Simmons comes down he notices his wife's queer actions, but goes ahead to disclose his plan to marry Ethel to his partner, Chet Binney. His project is given a setback, however, when Ethel turns up with Roger Shields, a friend from Chicago and Paris, Good heavens! You aren't the son of John M. Shields? he asks. Oni, Monsieur, Well, you must take after your mother. While Shields kisses Ethel's hand, Simmons mutters That's a part- nership that's going to be dissolv- ed Regaining his confidence, Sim- mons induces Chet to propose- to Ethel, but she wants a man with experience, who has sowed some wild oats. Simmons decides to sow some, so Chet goes to the corner store to buy pictures of beautiful women. He returns with four, sorrowing that they cost sixty-five cents apiece. One-'s of the Queen of Roumania, one of the Mona Lisa, dead five hun- dred years, and one of an actor. Simmons picks the other one, an actress named Letty Lythe. They ponder the question of an inscrip- tion. Chet suggests poetry, some- thing like this, 'Goodbye-my Chester, My Chester-protector? Finally they decide on To my quiet Chester, Still waters run deep. In memory of happy hec- tic Hollywood hours. Letty! Simmons forges it and they plant it where Mrs. S. will find it. It works! As the curtain falls Sim- mons exclaims The whole town's talking! But a dark cloud appears on the horizon, and the lightning strikes before the second act's up. In order to have another date with THE VIEWPOINT-l 935-36 his dancing teacher niece , Sadie Bloom, Simmons copies off a name from the hotel register, Donald Swift, and tells his wife of a business appointment with this man. Hattie is suspicious, calls the hotel, and identifies her- self, but Swift is out. Huh! says Hattie. Huh! says Sim- mons. Then the paper announces the personal appearance of Le-tty Lythe in town. Chet jumps from his chair, Goodbye, he says. Where are you going? , asks Simmons. To Honolulu! Sim- mons calms him down. Shields hears of the engage- ment, comes to say goodbye. Then in Walks Donald Swift, to see what Mrs. Simmons wanted. He's an old acquaintance of Roger, an ox-prizefighter, Miss Lythe's direc- tor, and her fiancee! He tells Shields that he is insanely jealous of any man who knows Letty. Shields shows him the picture, with the inscription. Later on Letty sees the picture, tells Shields it's a fake. To make Swift jealous she fakes a reunion with Chet, My Chester, my loved one, my mate, my man! l'll kill him! says Swift., go- ing into action. Shields stops him, No, no, not now! Later! Ethel sobs f'0h.. mother, mother! Simmons cries Oh, ye gods! Why didn't we pick the Mona Lisa!'! and the curtain falls, In the third act Sadie Bloom comes in to complicate matters. Letty attempts to calm Donald down, and Simmons actually gets a reconciliation, but Shields clev- erly gets Swift aroused again, and Chet is dragged into the room. In one of Swift's pictures there was a Fight in the dark. That's the only fair way , argues Chet, and Donald agrees. The lights go out, much injury is heard being done on the stage, Shields knocks out Swift with a table leg, then falls unconscious himself. The lights ego on, Chet climbs down from the chandelier, piles his ene- mies up and puts his foot on them, as Simmons breaks in the door. Chester and Ethel embrace, Letty leads Swift and Shields off to the hospital saying, Goodbye, Mr. Dempsey!
