DA-652 to DA-660 Madcap Madge Triangle
Featuring Olive Thomas.
The "Flower" family is made up of a father of the hardy variety; a mother of the climbing variety ; an elder daughter who threatens to be a "perennial," and a young bud, Madge, aptly nicknamed "Madcap".
The scene opens in a Young Ladies Finishing School where they put the final polish on future social timber, where Madge is shown to shapely advantage in a gymnasium suit and exercises. Later she is the moving spirit in a pajama party where the lady principal is appropriately caricatured by a calf borrowed from a nearbv farmhouse.
Expelled from the School, Madge becomes a refugee to the family gathering at Palm Beach. There the maternal Flower is endeavoring to secure for the "perennial" an English Lord travelling incog'nito in this country. A hotel arrival with similar initials to the Earl of Larlsdale is surrounded by the Flower family and succumbs to the bait shrewdly displayed.
To increase the matrimonial chances of the older sister, Madge is relegated to long curls and short skirts, to her exasperation and chagrin.
There follow several episodes of the effervescing "Madcap", delightfully culminating in her meteoric entrance to a Masque Ball on roller skates. The social situation is further complicated by three of the guests appearing in the same costume of Mephistopheles.
The elder sister procures a matrimonial prize, who is not an Earl. Madge captivates an Earl, but only by sur-name. However, as he happens to be the Junior Partner in a firm holding her father's financial obligations, the paternal Flower assures him that he is more welcome as a son-in-law than any other Earl in the world. The real Earl, a disconsolate, elderly, globe trotter disappears in disgust.
In this subject, Olive Thomas is at her delicious and sprightly best. There is no love problem or objectionable intrigue of any kind. Will be appreciated by every audience.

Dr. Robert Lowndes, of the British Army Medical Corps, during the year 1857, in India, is deserted by his native assistants, who believe the place infested with cholera, and left alone with a dead man far out on the desert. He cannot leave his post until the government sends relief, so he remains there, waiting, for many months. The horror of it gets so on his nerves that he is unable to sleep nights, and at last he seeks the aid of the morphine in his cabinet.
