It Is said to be one big ecream from curtain to curtain. ... . , The mix-ups start at the flat of John Stewart on Riverside drive, New York. Mr. Stewart's family Is a. wife and one son, the w.lfe very much on the hen-wlth-one-chlck order, ,the son Just ar riving at tennis-flannels and $5.00 a month spending money and objecting strenuously to the penury time forced upon him., Indeed he has been mak ing absent treatment love to a con tortionist lady In the flat lupstairs and pawning his father's clothes to buy flowers for her. Then Percy and Mary Peters appear upon the scene." Percy is looking for "the girl In the taxi' who proves to be Mrs. Smith, the wife of a perfume manufacturer who comes to pay a visit to the Stewarts on' the eventful evening which starts the play on its rapid-fire, speed-defying jour ney of Joys and Jealousies. The senior Stewart slides out of the house late at night, followed by Percy and later by young Bertie, the destination of each being unknown to the other. The des tination of each proves to be this same dining room In the Cafe ,; Churchill where complications fairly tumble ov er each other throughout the act, The head ' waiter steers thie whole ; Into greater and greater turmoil, the cli maxes are postponed, helhgtened, the laughs come like discharges from gat ling gunft. and .the end of the act, which comes In a perfect tumult of comedy, finds the audience almost ex hausted from laughing and gasping for breath.' - .
