The play centres around two young men, one a musician, tiic oili- er a poet, who swear to be statinch friends and stand by each other. . They room together in a buttcrctl and unfurnished apartment Iitlllsu, and are poverty stricken through lack of success in their profession until one diiy the wealthy actress comes to their assistance, whom they both learn to love and bccome some-what twisted up. Finally the father of Jack the poet, who is on Irish Attorney, wealthy and in search of a proper teacher for his daughter, turns upnnd flnds that the teacher he has selected is a rpartner to his own son whom he has dlsowned on account of his crazy poet profession. The Attorney finally accepts terms for his ilauglitei-‘s teacher, but in the mean time the actress whom his son is madly in love with appears to give assistance when the Attorney with n keen eye for the ladies, although past the meri- htntscll‘ and propnsesuiiarriage.
