e to her former husband's best friend, and finally tricks the dastardly rival into a marriage with someone else. Mr. Fagan has studded his story with jokes and retorts that will keep any audience in a constant uproar. (Royalty, twenty-five dollars.) PRICE 75 CENTS. TAKE MY TIP A comedy in 3 acts. By Nat N. Dorfman. Produced originally at the 48th Street Theatre in New York. 7 males, 6 females. 1 interior scene. Modern costumes. Few of us have escaped getting our fingers burnt in the crash of the stock market, and even those of us who have, have heard enough about it to take a sympathetic and amused interest in the doings of Henry Merrill when he tries to buck the game and grow rich. The play starts just two months before the crash. Henry, of the local soap works, is so heavy an investor in an oil stock that he is made a thirty-sixth Vice President of the Corporation.

By the time the story reaches his home town, Rosedale, New Jersey, Peter has become the boon companion of all the money kings--at least in the public mind--and Peter does his best to foster the deception.
