Robert Good iiCATCH THAT THIEFX a mystery comedy 1n three acts was given on November 24 under the direction of Miss Jennie Ellen 'Sturges. To begin with the two old maid Tuttle sisters, Justinia and Sophia were in- troduced. It seemed that Justinia and her sweetheart, Horace Pickerell, after a silly quarrel some years before had parted and had been pining away for each other ever since. Sophia was in love with the Reverend Nathaniel Hicks who was about to depart on a .missionary journey to the pigmies in Africa Before long our hearts are moved 1n pity for Peggy, the niece of the Tuttle sisters and Frank Dale who were being kept apart because of false rumors against Frank. Suddenly the tranquillity was broken by knowledge that there was trouble astir in the Tuttle manse. Carrie, the new maid, was plotting with Jim Conway, her sweet- heart and accomplice, to rob the Tuttle safe of the jewels which the sisters had recently inherited. Misfortune, however, met their every effort until Carrie was forced to conceal Jim behind a screen to await his opportunity About this time things began to happen. Telegrams, detectives, and smallpox complicate the plotea plot that fmally unwinds in a romantic fashion A well- coached cast was rewarded on production night by a full auditorium.
