Synopsis. —Richard Searles, suo- cessful American playwright, con- fides to his friend, Bob Singleton, the fact that, inspired by the genius of a young actress whom he had seen in London, he has written a play, "Lady Larkspur,” solely with the thought that she should interpret the leading char- acter. This girl, Violet Dewing, has disappeared and Searles re- fuses to allow the play to be pro- duced with anyone else in the part Singleton has just returned (in- valided) from France, where he had been serving In the aviation corps. His uncle, Raymond Bash- ford, a wealthy man, had contract. ed a marriage a short time before his death, while on a visit to Japan, He left Singleton a comparatively small amount of money and the privilege of residence in the "'ga- rage’ of his summer home, Bar- ton-on-the-Sound, Connecticut. Mrs Bashford is believed to be travel- ing In the Orient. The household at Barton is made up of elderly employees of the Tyringham, a New York hotel, where Bashford made his home. By the terms of his will these people are to have a home at Barton for the rest of their lives. Singleton goes to Bar. ton, taking with him thé manu- script of “Lady Larkspur.” There he finds the household strangely upset, some of its members being suspected by their comrades of pro- Germanism Antonio, head of the establishment, informs him that he has been perplexed by the what mysterious visits of a stranger, apparently a foreigner seeking Mrs. Bashford Antoine has formed the male members of the household into a guard for pro tection Singleton reads ‘Lady Larkspur” with approval “Aunt Alice” arrives expectedly, meets with a lively reception and turns out to be young and charming Mrs. Farnsworth is her traveling companion Torrence, Bas} for d's lawyer, suspects the two women and warns Singleton “Aunt Alice” some may be an impostor.

While my enthusiastic praise pleased him, he was very scornful of my suggestions, seeming even more depressed than when he talked to me, “It's impossible for me to plan other work. ‘Lady Larkspur’ ate the soul and out of me.
