Robert Newton and his mother give a house party at his shooting lodge in the Adirondacks. Among the guests are Vera Redmond, a romantic, imaginative girl with whom Robert is in love — • and Inez Tremain who loves Robert. Inez overhears Vera refusing Robert's proposal of marriage because he is "too practical" — and being unable to attract him herself, as he can think of no one except Vera, she devises a plan for putting her rival out of his thoughts and hopes forever. The schemer invites an adventurous young man of her acquaintance to come and camp near the shooting lodge — with the prospect of winning a beautiful girl, and, incidentally, doing his old friend, Inez, a great service. Dick Graham is dashing and picturesque — and things go pretty much as Inez has expected. Vera is attracted to him — they see more and more of one another — until all that remains, is the right time and place for Dick to propose. Then the entire action is set aside by the serious business of saving the little community from a forest fire. Vera — on her way to meet Graham at his camp — is trapped in the flames — and her thrilling rescue reveals to her the devotion and heroism latent in her "too practical" lover. Armed Intervention Dec. 13, 1913' CAST Betty Newton Winifred Greenwood Dora Lawson Marion Murray Mrs. Lawson Ida Lewis Mr. Lawson Reaves Eason Bob Phelps Ed. Coxen Tom Fischer George Field Rev. Dallas C Cummings This is another of the AMERICAN stories which portray in a vivid and humorous manner various phases of cov/boy life. Bob — a gay and festive "cowpunch," has the reputation of proposing to every girl he meets, upon first acquaintance. So — when Betty comes to the ranch, he is locked up in the granary in order to give her a fair chance. He escapes, however — proposes, as usual — and, as a joke, Betty accepts him. Before long, however, they really fall in love and, realizing the joke is becoming too serious, release each other — only to become very unhappy, as Bob is really in no position to support a wife. Tom Fischer and Betty's cousin, Dora, then conspire to force matters — aided by the cowboys. Bob learns that he has inherited $50,000 — just before the cowboys compel him to confess his real affection lor Betty and, at the point of a gun, make him get into his evening clothes — which he has had no occasion to wear for years. Dora, in the meantime, forces Betty to confess her love for Bob and persuades her to put on her best gown. Then — Betty and Bob unexpectedly find themselves before a minister, and go through with a wedding ceremony before they know what has happened to them. Tom and Dora take advantage of the same opportunity to marry. The whole play is a rollicking comedy — half fun — half love story — the sort of play which does an audience good.
