THE QARDINAL Synopsis Act I-Scene I--Drawing room of Chester Stone's residence. Elizabeth Stone's debut party, September. Scene II-Same. The important day of Elizabeth Stones debut into the social world is also marked by an oft-1'epcated proposal by Rex Raymond. An extraordinary will which appears, dictates that Rodney Evans must be engaged to Elizabeth Stone by the thirty-first of December, if he wishes to receive his inheritance. Elizabeth determines to escape the exactions of society by a tlight into the mountains. Act II-Scene I-The mountains, October 8th. Scene II-Same, October 3lst. ln the mountain atmosphere of freedom and unconventionality, Betty and Rodney, under assumed names, meet and fall under the spell of the moon flowers. Rex falls in love with Peg, the mountain girl, while Tom and Teddy revel in their mischief in bringing about the attachment of Lawrence for Joyce. Alison plays the part of the snake in the Garden of Eden, creating a misunderstanding between Rodney and Betty which leads the latter quite unexpectedly to announce her engagement to Rex. Act III-Livin room of Chester Stone's residence December 31st. Sf 1 Like a good magician, Dave solves the complications of Elizabeth's engage- ment, and dispels the clouds which threaten Peg's happiness. The true prince makes his appearance when the clock strikes twelve. The play was a huge success, if one may judge from the amount of praise received from the patrons who attended. Mrs. Margaret Drummet, of Prophets- town, under whose efficient supervision the play was produced, has won the grati- tude of the class for her untiring work. 71
