Place-Mrs. Daphnay Rooney's house in a small town near New York City. SYNOPSIS On the eve of his marriage with the widow Rooney, Timothy Shea gets an acute attack of cold feet and begs his crony, Patrick Rooney, the widow's brother- in-law, to rescue him from impending matrimony. Pat hatches the bright idea of having the bridegroom pretending to lose his memory from a blow received in a fictitious accident and assume the identity of one Peter Peterson. Unluckily, the name belongs to a-Swedish dynamiter wanted by the police. Kathleen O'Connor sees that Tim is pretending and persuades her boy friend, Fred Gray, to act as Mrs. Peterson. Three children are found to impersonate the Peterson family and claim Tim as the head of the household. Tim is thus be- leagured by the false Mrs. Peterson and the police and alternately scorned and courted by the outraged widow. Due to Mrs. Rooney's maid, nicknamed Poison Ivy , the Peterson business is soon a mass of entaglements, which even the de- tective cannot clear. In the end, Tim finds pretending too expensive and is again accepted by the widow. By doing this, two other couples are united-the marriage of lJaphnay's son and Tim's daughter, Jimmy and Nora, and Fred and Kathleen. All ends well in the usual happy way. The play was directed by Miss Marjorie J. Carswell. - 42 -
