The play has for its setting Old Chelsea, once a flourishing residential *ectlon of New York City, in the early •eventies. In this picturesque, old-fashioned atmosphere, Imogen Throgmore lives her pretty romance. Imogen Is the daughter of an Indigent actor, whom she supports by giving lessons In elocution. To the Throgmore home comes Luel’a Maltby, a designing widow and erstwhile pupil of Imogen's. She engages rooms at the Throgmore's In order that she may carry on her courting more advantageously. Imogen is astounded when she discovers that Luella's intended is none other than Alfred Tweed, the man with whom she was in love eignt years before. Imogen sets about to win back Alfred by persuading another young man, one Rupert Hawkins, to make love to Luella that she may prove to Alfred the widow’s fickleness. To assure the success of her scheme, Imogen gives Kupert lessor.# in the deTbrtment of love making. Whereupon Rupert complicates masters further by becoming enamoured of Imogen, herself. Then, Imogen, torn between the old love and the new, demands that each one of her suitors kiss her that she may find out which is the true love. Teus, when the two famous kisses are implanted upon her chaste lips, ImogCl makes the lmnmant decision. HOW THEY* ARE CAST. Mr. Walker has selected a superb cast to portray this merry little comedy. Blanche Y'urka naturally plays the naive role of Imogen. McKay Morris will be seen In the part of Rupert, the suitor who deliver# the triumphant kiss. v And John Wray, who left the cast of A. H. Wood’s "The Ouija Board” to appear in Mr. Walker's productions this summer, is cast to play the comical role of Alfred Tweed, the lover who lost.
