As Alf, of the patent cigar lighter which would never light, Mr. Percy Jennings gave a very realistic representation of that cheerful, red headed little Irishman of the type which seems to have almost disappeared in these days of Teuton plots and Sinn Feiners. Mr. Leon Gordon, formerly of the Henry Jewett Players, took the part of Bert, the Don Juan of the trio, the man "with a girl in every trench."
