Comic dialogue.
Ethel May Hall has a real comedy hit in this sketch that will carry her on for some time. There are amusing situations and enough of the rough comedy to make it more than ordinarily funny. Miss Hall plays a young married woman who has trouble with "mashers." Her husband is a foppish Englishman. She married, for his title, but sees her mistake when finding men even insult her when with her spouse. A plumber appears and the woman thinks she will engage him to do away with the mashers. She agrees to pay him $50 a day to beat 'em up. The plumber is left alone in the parlor and the husband, who had gone out just before, returns. Plumber musses up hubby badly. The end arrives with the wife entering saying there has been a terrible mistake. Miss Hall is a decidedly attractive young woman with a personality that has a tendency to hold any audience. Other roles were well played.
