The plot centers around Richard Barrington, who leaves college and starts for home ac- companied by Tot Marvel, a chorus girl, who is his fiancee, and whom he hopes will be accepted by his family. Tot is entangled in the meshes of the law and does not arrive at Richard ' s home. Honor Bright, a college graduate who is selling books to obtain money to take her M. A. degree at Radcliffe, walks into the Barrington ' s parlor and is mistaken for Tot. Complications arise and provide many humorous situations, especially when Tot arrives, as she is a typical Broadway type. Bill Drum an old pal of Tot ' s, thoroughly understands the situation and solves it by marrying Tot. Consequently, Honor and Richard are brought closer together, and the old, old story is retold once more. Many amusing situations were provided by Tot, Drum, Maggie, and Foster. Much com- mendation is due the participants in view of their splendid portrayals.
