In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Syca- more home, on the wrong evening. The shock sustained by the Kirbys, who are invited to eat cheap delicatessen food, shows Alice that mar- riage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores, however, though sympathetic to Alice, find it hard to realize her point of view. Mean- time Tony, who knows the Sycamores are right and his own people wrong, will not give her up, and in the end Mr. Kirby, at least, is convert- ed to the happy madness of the Sycamores, particularly since he hap- pens in during a visit by an ex-Grand Duchess earning her living as a waitress. No mention has as yet been made of the strange activities of certain members of the houadmid engaged in the manufacture of fire- works, nor of the printing-press set up in the parlor, nor of Rheba the maid and her friend Donaldg nor of Grandpa's interview with the income tax collector when he tells him he doesn't believe in the in- llll D ' my f , N 001116 tax n I - afuqlx Zy- Nmfif ff gl
