Story uf the flap The two acts of the play take place in breakfast room of Miss Luke, who is an eccentric maiden lady with a fondness for animals. Her nfiece, Miss Katherine, and nephew, Mr. Phillip, make their home with her. Mtiss Kath- erine and Mr. Phillip, as well as the butler and Patty, the maid, strongly object to Miss Luke's household of oats. Patty takes a stand agalinst them, but the butler does not wish to hurt Miss Lukefs feelings. Miss Luke has arranged, without the kn-owledge of Phillip and Kath- erine, to convert the top of her house into a glass room for the cats. Mr. Brown, the architect, is made to appear quite ridiculous because he is tak- en for Mr., Bob. Miss Marian Bryant, a friend of Miss Katherine's, comes to make a visit. Miss Katherine leads Phillip to believe that Marian, nicknamed Bob, is a suitor of hers. A splendid bit of comedy takes place because of this plot. Mr. Bob, a weafk specimen of humanity, accoding to Hhlill- lip, enters Phillipls boat in the race. Phillip cannot sail because he has made an agreement with Miss Becky that he will give up the boats if she gives up the cats. All this time Mr. Brown, who has been taken for the architect, also for Mr. Bob, has been put through trying ordeals. No one will permit him to say what his mission is. Flinally, after the race, whlich Phillip 'be- lieves Mr. Brown, known as Bob to him, has Won, the plot is revealed. Mr. Brown tells them he is Brown, of the firm, Benson 8z Benson, and has brought the missing co-dicil to Miss Luke. After that Katherine introduces Marian as Mr. Bob, much to Phillipls surprise. They have met before, Phillip offers her his yacht and himself, as they have sworn never to be separated. Much fun was had in the way of rehearsa's before the play was giv- en, also much worrying on the part of one person. A great deal off exciite- ment was caus-ed when Aunt Becky sat down on three tacks, what speed she did use in arising. Every memaber took great pleasure in assisting Mrs. Neff to direct the play, when Phillip would not say his lines correctly much criticism was thrown from the rear in the form of apple cores, spit- balls, broken plates and books. Mr. Brown, the bashful member of the ca.st, came near losing his dignity when Mrs. Neff threatened to spank him for causing several characters to indulge in inelegant horse laugh- ing. At every practice the Frog Hollow golf club met. The champion players were Adolph, Orville and Hefnrlertl. The results were the entire cast receiving a terrific bawling out by Mrs. Neff, which was swallowed like arsenic. Minstrel practice was held every night.
