.lames S, Devlin and Mae Ellwood play the only characters, one a female "Haflles." while Mr. Devlin is a "wise city boy.* but not nearly as breezy as he should be. The girl prowling around at night in a mask, and with one of the new electric bull's-eye lights, drops in the apartments of Augustave Butler (Mr. Devlin) who has just stepped out. While searching for valuables, she hears him returning, and secreting mask, cloak and light, drops into a chair, asleep. He discovers the intruder upon turning on the lights, when she feigns innocence, accusing him of entering her apartment. In the solution of the situation she admits her mistake, saying her rooms are on the floor above. In the conversation following, during which he makes love to her proclaiming the girl the 'ideal" his mother has in mind for his wife, the young woman relieves the "wise boy" of his personal possessions, from fountain pen to watch. Bidding her good-bye, one by one he learns his valuables are gone until it at last dawns upon the "fellow about town" that he has been robbed by his moth
There is a great deal of merit to the sketch, and it is capable of more fun than it at present delivers. Miss Ellwood is a pretty woman, capably taking care of her part. Mr. Devlin is the one who should be looked after, besides the finale. There is a refreshing side to the story which should bring desirable time.
