Ina THE RJEVEHLLE 1 1 SYNOPSIS JOHN JABE DooL1'r'rLE, the Rustic Romeo, is the proprietor of the hotel' at Chowderville, on Long Island. He has been a lif'elong butterfly and flirt, and has proposed to every girl in Water County, and their mothers before them. He answers a matrimonial advertisement from a clinging little blo11d, signed Flossief' The postal courtship progresses and the wedding is to take place on the Fourth of July at his hotel. He confides his secret to Azariah Figg, the postmaster, and to Hink Spinny, a tin peddler. KK The lady arrives, but proves to be a middle-aged widow with an uncertain temper, hcr daughter, Honeysuckle, a romping child, and St. Cecelia, a shaggy little dog, accompany her. Figg attempts to chastise Honeysuckle for stealing, but her mother rescues her and gives Chowderville a piece of her mind. The Rustic Romeo is horror-stricken at his bride and tries to run away, but she captures him and says the wedding must take place on the next day. A mysterious robbery occurs. Figg, the grocery-keeper, is robbed of sev- enty dollars, and the characters in the play as well as the audience are kept in suspense until the final curtain, for circumstantial evidence points to the guilt of any one of four parties: the Rustic Romeo, the tin pcddler, the village bad boy and Miss Dee, a lone, lorn critter of the village, who yearns for seventy dollars to invest in patent medicine. Each of these characters is in turn suspected by Figg and the audience, but no absolute proof is at and and the mystery is not solved until the final curtain. In Act II, the bride, Mrs. Spriggs, makes things generally unpleasant for the Rustic Romeo, who finally, in desperation, determines to run away and not marry her. Figg suggests that he elope. Miss Dee is the only woman in the country who has not refused him and she says she will be the willing sacrifice. Mrs. Spriggs finds consolation with Azariah Figg. There is a double wedding celebration, Figg recovers his seventy dollars and all unite in a patriotic finale. P XGE THIRTY-ONE 1
