the fountain hill opera house a few alumni were also present to help swell the size of the house the mustard and cheese officers were particularly fortunate this year in their selection of the play to be rendered " the ulster a a short amusing comedy in three acts is well adapted to keep an audience in a roar of laughter mr valentine flipper the aged husband is very jealous of his pretty young wife and finding an ulster in his house one morning he suspects some young man is paying attention to his wife he at once employs a private detective to find who the young man is the love affairs of two young couples are also woven into the plot finally mr flipper decides from the proofs he has gathered and from his wife's own statements 1o apply for a divorce he suspects a pro fessor barton of being the owner of the ulster and calls on him for an explanation but as professor barton is very deaf mr flipper does not get the plot straightened out wilmington mr flipper's son is in love with agnes a daughter of professor barton's while mr flipper is accusing professor barton of being intimate with his wife professor barton thinks flipper is asking for the hand of his daughter in marriage to wilmington in the final scene when all the ulsters with their owners are on the stage mr flip per sees that he has wronged his wife and the two young couples are made happy by the consent of all concerned to their marriage mr smoot as mr flipper was splendid and mr seabrook who took the part of professor barton also distinguished himself mr white as peter jones the new groom created a good deal of amusement the men taking the part of women were a little too much like the new woman that we hear so much about but were very much appreciated and applauded by the audience taken all in all the ulster was a great success and the mus tard and cheese association deserves much credit for the very success ful performance
