His girl friend Lorraine, turns him down and his sister, Princess Kolinsky, comes all the way from Russia, for her part. She brings along her hen pecked husband and a measley count who furnish wit and humor. A good supporting role is played by Lucinda, Jerry’s guardian an gel, and Jack Deering, his old chum. Lucindy adopts two chil dren whose ignorance provides plenty of laughter. Jerry’s fortune changes for bet ter when his uncle sends a “baby for him to care for. The “baby” turns out to be “Caroline,” a very attractive young girl. Jerry dis covers that Caroline is so differ ent from Lorraine and that she is a real girl, who soon learns to return his love. The cast of characters is as fol lows: Aunt Lucindy—the faithful ser vant—Doris Henderson, Mattie—her understudy—Mary F.
