THE MIDDLE WATCH

A farcical comedy in 3 acts. By Ian Hay and Stephen King-Hall. Produced
originally at the Times Square Theatre, New York. 9 males, 6 females.
Modern costumes and naval uniforms. 2 interior scenes.

During a reception on board H. M. S. "Falcon," a cruiser on the China
Station, Captain Randall of the Marines has become engaged to Fay Eaton,
and in his enthusiasm induces her to stay and have dinner in his cabin.
This is met with stern disapproval by Fay's chaperon, Charlotte
Hopkinson, who insists that they leave at once. Charlotte, however, gets
shut up in the compass room, and a gay young American widow accepts the
offer to take her place, both girls intending to go back to shore in the
late evening. Of course, things go wrong, and they have to remain aboard
all night. By this time the Captain has to be told, because his cabin
contains the only possible accommodations, and he enters into the
conspiracy without signalling the Admiral's flagship. Then the "Falcon"
is suddenly ordered to sea, and the 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.

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 lov
