Before the opera opens, Rose inherits a fortune from an uncle in America since she is a few hours older than her cousin; Betty with whom she lives in Limerick TOW under Judge Rooley's guard ianship. 'Both girls were born on the 24th of May of the same year. Cap- tain Pomeroy Worthington comes of age and proceeds to Limerick to woo the unknown Rose, well aware that his family needs her .money. Rose suspects bis motives and arranges to exchange places with Betty.The Cap- tain guessing some such ruse will be played, decides to devote himself to the apparently penniless cousin. Complications occur and he discovers he is ardently in •Iave with the real Betty who is masquerading; as Rose Sir Charles and his wife arrive and are indignant at the, turn of affairs. The timely arrival of an eccentric old American who proves in a most unexpected and ingenious way that Betty is the real heiress, brings about a happy ending for all concerned Rose 'finding consolation in the de- votion of Justin, O'l'lynn. • ADMISSION 35c.
