Place-Suburb of Philadelphia, Pa. Time of playing-About two hours. SYNOPSIS Mary Abbey, a young wife, tired of housework, wishes to get her old job back, and to have her mother keep house for her. But her husband, Billy. disapproves, as he thinks Mary has an easy job. As he is out of work and discouraged, he and Mary decide to change places for a week. Billy learns, through many sad mistakes, that housework is not so easy after all, and Mary, after three days of walking the streets and attending movies until time to go home, realizes that Billy also has something to complain about, and even longs for the despised housework. Mrs. Berdon, Mary's mother, and her grandchildren, Bobby and Dolly, who are holy terrors, are spending a few days with the Abbeys. Dolly wears Mrs. Berdon's diamond ring, and when it slips off her finger, the goose which Katie, the maid, is going to kill for dinner eats it. The children are too frightened to tell what has happened, so when the ring is missed, an unknown man is suspected who has been watching the house ever since Sally Carter, Mary's friend, came for a visit. Murphy, the policeman, who is in love with Katie, chases the man but he gets away. Murphy and Danny Grubb, the iceman, are rivals for Katie's affections. Burt Childs, Billy's friend who is also visiting the Abbeys, falls in love with Sally, but he knows he has no chance, and he agrees to help her bring Mary and Billy back together. They decide that the best way to do this would be to make them jealous. So Mary makes love to Burt in front of Billy, and when Sally tells Billy this is only a plan to make him jealous, he pays no attention. Harry Carter appears and Sally introduces him as her husband, He is recognized as the suspected thief of the ring, but it is found in the goose when Katie kills it for dinner. Then Dolly confesses her part in it and Harry is cleared. Billy and Mary are reconciled when Billy admits that the housework is too much for him, and when Mary discloses the fact that she has not had a job at all. Everyone is happy and Mary swears that she will love and obey and never again complain about the housework. Sponsored by Floyd T. Walker f?.5'!
