The Ghost of Jerry Bundler | Page 8

Admiral decides
to sail with her. This also makes necessary the turning over to him of
the Captain's quarters. The presence of the ladies now becomes
positively embarrassing. The girls are bundled into one cabin just
opposite that occupied by the Admiral. The game of "general-post"
with a marine sentry in stockinged feet is very funny, and so are the
attempts to explain matters to the "Old Man" next morning. After this
everything ends both romantically and happily.

NANCY'S PRIVATE AFFAIR
A comedy in 3 acts. By Myron C. Fagan. Produced originally at the
Vanderbilt Theatre, New York. 4 males, 5 females. 2 interior scenes.
Modern costumes.
Nothing is really private any more--not even pajamas and bedtime
stories. No one will object to Nancy's private affair being made public,
and it would be impossible to interest the theatre public in a more
ingenious plot. Nancy is one of those smart, sophisticated society
women who wants to win back her husband from a baby vamp. Just
how this is accomplished makes for an exceptionally pleasant evening.
Laying aside her horn-rimmed spectacles, she pretends indifference and
affects a mysterious interest in other men. Nancy baits her rival with a
bogus diamond ring, makes love 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. Not being the kind of fellow who would
forget his friends in this time of good fortune, he lets them all in on the
good thing. Being humanly greedy, the friends jump at the chance to
profit.... In the second act, after Henry's daughter has eloped, the
friends are presenting Henry with a diamond-studded wrist watch, as a
token of their esteem, when news comes of the Wall Street upheaval
and all are wiped out. Things, however, are not as bad as they look, for
Henry, who has an invention to revolutionize the soap industry, sells
the idea for a large price and everything is all right again.
(Royalty, twenty-five dollars.) PRICE 75 CENTS.

PETER FLIES HIGH
A comedy in 3 acts. By Myron C. Fagan. Produced originally at the
Gaiety Theatre, New York. 8 males, 6 females. 1 interior scene.

Modern costumes.
This delightful comedy concerns one Peter Turner who caddied for the
Morgans, the Kahns and the Guggenheims on the links at Miami. It was
during one of these rounds on the golf links that Peter fell over and
killed a stray dog. The local paper built the story up so that Peter
becomes a nation-wide hero who saved the lives of many people by
strangling a mad canine. 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. Carried away by his imagination he pretends to be
a friend of the great, persuades his brother-in-law to buy an option to a
ninety-acre lot on the assumption that "Guggenheim" is to build a golf
course there, obtains $10,000 from the local banker and then becomes
badly involved in his deceptions. After Peter endures the ridicule of his
townsfolk and the ire of the banker there suddenly appears on the scene
a representative of "Guggenheim" who wants the acreage not for a golf
course but an air field, and promptly turns over a check for $75,000 for
a part of it.
(Royalty, twenty-five dollars.) PRICE 75 CENTS.
