...private secretary; Ellen Peck, secretary to Mr. Clark; Mrs. Clark; E. W. Smithers, the White House telegraphist; Pat McKenna, Cerberus of the White House office, friend of all dignitaries for the last 20 years; Erwin Geisser, the President's stenographer; Katherine Gwynn, Mrs. Coolidge's maid; John May, White House butler, valet ad interim to the President; Julia Jongbloet, cook, successor to the famed Martha M. Mulvey; Rob Roy, collie; and Paul Pry (the report that Paul Pry, grown vicious, was about to be disposed of, seems to have been an unfounded libel). Not included in the party...
Engaged. Over the hazards of heat, an inadequate conception of what is a Scottish maid, a purely imaginative conception of what is the Scottish dialect and bunkers of arid waste in the first act, W. S. Gilbert's "most famed" comedy does it in two under bogey. In fact, one might be tempted to say that nothing like such perfect work as appears in the end of the second act has been done on the musical comedy links this season.

...brown maid whose exclamatory legs and bandeaued coif have been photographed innumerable times for the press of the U. S., of Europe, was posed once more last week before a battery of cameras.

Mr. and Mrs. George Howell: a morning paper containing accounts of a robbery of a ruby necklace from a Mrs. Pembroke of Boston, and of a railroad accident on the Boston to New York line--these are the first clues. The young wife has been deprived of her husband's company at the outset of her honeymoon, while Howell, pretending that he has a very important legal task...
King turns up at the apartment to exchange bags, but in the meantime the stupidly comical maid, Susie from Sioux City, complicates matters by discovering the rubies and pocketing them in order to claim a reward. This of course, just to make things, already mixed up, a little worse and ten times funnier. There are relatives, one of whom is the finance of Ned Pembroke the police, Vera, and finally Mrs. Pembroke. After the first act, the house proves a perfect trap, thanks to the slogan of Officer Mooney. "You can come...
