In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of the 'Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home, ohwthe wrong evening. The shock sustained by the Kirbys, who are invited to eat cheap deli- catessen food, shows'Al1ce that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores, however, though sympathetic to Alican- find it hard to realize her point of view. Meantime Tony, who knows the Sycamores are right and his own people wrong, will not give her up, and in the end Mr. Kirby, at least, is converted to the happy madness of the Syoamores, particularly since he happens in during a visit by an ex-Grand Duchess, earning her living as a waitress. No mention has as yet been made of the strange activi- ties of certain members of the household engaged in the manufac- ture of fireworks, nor of theprinting-press set up in the perlorg nor of Rheba, the maid, and her friend, Donald, nor of Grandpa's interview with the income-tax collector when he tells him he doesn't believe in the income-tax.

George Lerch Messenger ,,,,,,, , , Gene Snyder The story is centered around Jeff, who is head of the house- hold. Jeff mistakes Peggy for the new maid, and Peggy, tired of selling hosiery and fond of the children, agrees to stay on and help out. Lenore Hudson has just inherited a million dollars, and has commissioned Jeff to build her a new house--which she hopes he will eventually share with her. Hy, the little tomboy, whose passion is football, hates Lenore because she is building her house on their football lot, and is starting to excavate the very day of the important game. In an excruclatingly funny scene, Hy puts a crimp in Lenores plans, but Peggy shields Hy and takes the blame herself. Jeff reprimands her. Peggy thinks she doesn't have a chance competing with a girl who inherited a million dollars--and leaves. Then Jeff realizes how much Peggy means to him. Hy gets her football squad out and they bring Peggy back. And then Peggy, in her delightfully vague ibut not so dumbj way, pulls a few tricks herself, which puts the million-dollar baby out of the running.
