The first performance was on the lOth of December, and the second was on January 5. The plot of the story was as followsg Uncle Jeff, who was supposed to have heart trouble, finds that his brother has died and left his wife and hwo daughters,Kathi and Betts without enough money to live on. Jeff takes it upon himself to care for his brother's wife and her two fatherless child- ren. Although Jeff means well, his crude mannerisms put everything in an uproar. The reason is the fact that he has not been around women or civilization for 20 years. His ideas of modern dress are rather harsh. The fact that Uncle worth S5O,OOO,Won the hoofn, as he puts it, adds the Jeffis motive for the return of Dora Devine, Jeff's old sweetheart. Betts' and Kathi's boyfriends,Wally O'Shane and Buzz Bassett create quite a bit of excitement when they try to imperson- ate girls, who in the end are both boys. The climax comes when Dora shows herself as a crimin- .al who is after Jeff's money. Buzz and Wally are the heroes when they come in just as Jeff is being robbed. After a acuffle, the money is recovered. Lucindy Peck from Cabbage Neck added color and humor throughout the play.
