Plot of "The Counterfeiter."

Rehearsals of the Pi Eta musical comedy, "The Counterfeiter," are being held regularly and the progress made so far has been very satisfactory.

The first act introduces an American millionaire, Tripp, who is staying in Naples with his three attractive daughters, Jessie, Tessie and Bessie. Tripp, who has only recently made his fortune on the stock exchange, openly avows his intention of buying titles for his daughters, and is easily taken in by an American counterfeiter, styling himself the Count di Fitta, whom Tripp presents to his daughters. Skiddles, a detective, is disguised as Fitta's valet and his efforts cause much merriment. Lord Coldstream, an Englishman, and two American naval officers, Admiral Bowser, and Lieutenant Storm, are in love with the girls.

In the second act, which takes place on the Hamburg-American dock in Boston, the Tripps are returning home, followed by Coldstream and the sham Count, who is unsuccessfully seeking to marry Jessie. The two naval officers met the party at Coldstream, Bowser and Storm propose at the same time and are accepted by their respective ladies. Some of the grotesque and humorous aspects of the United States customs and the Boston police are brought out in the characters of Inspector Baggs and Policeman Flynn. The play closes with the arrest of the Counterfeiter.

The following public performances of the play will be given: Friday, April 14. Winchester Town Hall: Saturday, April 15. Worcester Theatre; Wednesday, April 26, and Friday, April 28, Cambridge; Saturday afternoon and evening, April 29, Bijou theatre, Boston.
