Tho scone opens in Mrs. Quick's boarding house. Tho Amorican boarding hiuso has always something to promote fun and indigos, tion. Messrs World, Garnella aud Mack, who play tho principal parts in tho cosiody, declare that indigestion is an unknown quantity thore, however, thoro iB too much laughter for tho prunes and corn boot to lio heavy on your chest. Burglars break into tho boarding house auf. steal Bilvor ware and a coat. Then tho husband of tho presiding goddess of tho house goes to New York to look for the burglars and you ca a imagine what happens to him. The second act shows Broadway, that part known as tho "Rialto." Here the husband meets some nice gentlemen, who give him the glad hand and lead him into all sorts of scrapes. Ho think ho is smart, but he is not smart enough. Ho meets eome beautiful girls, too, and thoy holp tho fun along, l'hey sing, thoy danco, they kick, and thoro is a rip-roaring time. In tho last act wo find tho husband homo again, and he has to 83ttlo matters with his wife. The story is straight and to the point, but it is interrupted frequent ly to allow of musical and terpBichoroan numbers. These specialties all grow out of the action of the play, and are not lugged in awkwardly. Mr. Garnella has rewritten tho comedy entirely, and it is right up to date, with all the new things that have created sensations in London, Paris and New Yoak 'deftly woven into the action.
