Nancy Boyer and Co. presented a comedy sketch with a heart interest, well acted. She portrays a country girl whose brother had stolen $300, then enlisted and to save him from jail she had mortgaged the little farm to the employer whom he robbed. Employer takes his case to a lawyer who at that moment receives a letter from his son in France who writes his life was saved by a young man who stole. Lawyer pays the debt but refuses to pay the usurious interest of $90, whereupon employer calls a lawyer a crook. He, in turn, rejoins that it takes a crook to catch a crook. Good stuff for the three-a-day houses.
