TULIP TIME HE village, enjoying a holiday, is startled by the arrival of a party of American tourists, college students under the direction of Professor McSpindle, a tutor in botany, to study tulip culture. Two of the party, Ned and Dick, are much more interested in Christina and her friend, Katinka. News reaches the village that a thief has been stealing choice bulbs. A handbill describes the thief and offers a reward for his capture. Ned and Dick induce McSpindle to so attire himself to cause his arrest. With McSpindle out of the way, Ned and Dick promote their friendship with the girls and learn that Christina's stock is, unknown to her, of immense value. They reveal the truth to her and thwart the Burgomaster's attempt to become rich at her expense. With the assistance of Christina's Aunt Anna, the innocence of lVlcSpindle is established, and the latter declares his affection for her. With the prospect of a triple wedding the final curtain falls. PLAYERS Hans . . . ..... .,.. E DWYN SPAHR Aunt Anna .... . . FRANCES BRADLEY Katinka ....., . . .
