.Seaton .Enola 4auua4J Za STORY OF THE PLAY Mr. Morlock, a fidgety, nervous, grouchy old goat who doesn't like anything but money, won't let his family do anythingg always gripes about his pains and aches, feuds with everyone and he won't let daughter Mary, 20, become engaged to Joe Lanconi because Joe's papa is poor. In short, he's a drip of the worst sort. Mr. Morlock, who's known as P. U. to his few friends ithat stands for Philip Ulyssesj, says if Mary weds up with Joe it'll be over his dead body. Luigi says if they don't it'll be over his. So round and around they go. Luigi konks out and so does Mr. Morlock. Lucifer, the rounder-upper of lost souls from down-below , drops in- pitchfork and all-to take Mr. Morlock to the lower regions. Mr. Morlock now realizes what a heel he's been. If he only had another chance. If only-then Milderd the maid awakens him. He had spent the night on the sofa. It's all been a bad dream. He didn't die and neither did Luigi. Needless to say, a very reformed Mr. Morlock makes vast promises, okays the wedding, and peace finally reigns at the Morlock's.

'l uniaa pun Q . 2 l l I E E 5 Distracted. Maddened. That's what the innocent father is. And who wouldn't be? He's forced to live in a house with a neurotic ex-pugilist who starts fighting whenever a doorbell rings! And Mr. Haines is always standing near when it does ring. Not only that, but a strange Miss Chol- mundeley-as dizzy and stupid as they come-has taken up her abode. It all happens on the night of the Junior Prom, when Hildy comes down with the measles, and everybody in the Haines residence is quarantined. The ill-assorted couple who call on Mr. Haines tbelieving he is a psycho- analyst! are unfortunately in the house at the time. It is really Chuck's fault, though. Innocently enough, in testing out his printing press, he ran off some handbills proclaiming a DO YOU THINK YOU'RE INSANE- ARE YOU LOSING YOUR MIND ?-SEE DR. HAINES and that brought forth results-in the form of mental patients. Hildy can't attend the Prom, of course, and after she and Queenie had struggled so hard on the date angle, too. And now, beautiful cousin Cora is probably using her charms on Willie. Not that Willie is such a prize , the girls had palmed him off on Cora in the first place, in favor of more glamorous dates. But how can a person carry on love plots when she's measles-afflicted? Well, there comes a time when the quarantine is lifted, and romance and youthful schemes can have a field day once more. The pugilist-dizzy- dame pair can leave, too. They've fallen in love in the meantime, and it isn't long before they come tromping back to the house to announce their engagement! But the blow that just about kills everybody lands when Mr. Haines comes down with the measles!
