The acting takes place at I who's summer cottage on the Jersej oast, in the morning. And by the way, the show is a rapid-fire one, just like the fast-burning fuse on the bomb It all takes place in a single da. Now tlie Powne family takes an im- Eportant part in the happenings. Ham Knard Downe, a mere man, portrayed fey Russel L. Richards, is the husband J of Mrs. Puttem-Downe, ardent and loquacious as to her cause, and father to Miss May Downe, also imbued with fthe suffrage idea. Miss Edithe H.

Mistaking Kitty, the Downe's naid. for Miss May Downe, he makes love to her and is caught by the real Miss Downe. Miss Vera Jane Hol comb takes the part of Kitty. This is complication now, and you know that is necessary in play-making. And to make worse Mrs. Puttem-Downe has decreed her daughter must marry the young Montmorency. Act II straightens out somewhat the tangle. This is a Sailor's Tavern scene in the afternoon. A fake meet- ing of suffragettes is pulled off by the men and the bomb is brought in to give young Dick an opportuniay to prove himself a hero before the now disdainful Miss Downe. Mr. Putts, the Englishman, intoxicated, strolls ia and accidentally touches his cig arette to the bomb's fuse. Here Dick rushes in and hurls the bomb out of the window. The third act is at the Downe cottage that night, where all the lovers are united and all are hap py, as is customary. Comedians Are Sailors. Jack Tar, sailor on the "Bubbles," by Carlyle Johnson, Tom Pitch, his pal. by John C. Stapel, cooperated with Putts and Downe in furnishing the fun of the play.
