It is a comedy pure and simple a comedy of errois that induces the most amusing complications and keeps the audience roaring with laughter for nearly three hours. The story tells of Dr. William Brown, known as "Dr. Bill," coming back to the practice of his profession which he had relinquished at the time of his marriage because many of his patients were ladies of the ballet. His father-in-law rather objected to his meeting so many fascinating young women, and Dr. Bill dutifully agreed with him. When he becomes a doctor again, he fiuds himself in all kinds of amusing scrapes, and thus gives his audiences their full quota of fun. Try H grist of wheat at our mill.
