The Topsy Turvy Twins
William Jones, raised by his Uncle Frank in the city, was a rounder, while his twin brother, Alberforce, raised in the country by his grandmother and two aunts, was just the opposite. Grandma had picked out Mattie, the little daughter of a neighbor, for Alberforce's wife, so that she could have him always under her eye. But Alberforce had longings for the Great White Way. When a letter arrived from Frank, saying that legal business required his signature, Alberforce was delighted. The three women decided to let him go. He arrived in the city and was met by his uncle. Their father's will decreed that if either of the boys gambled, drank, played with chorus girls, or compromised himself in any shady affair, his share of the money was to go to charity. The lawyer had already satisfied himself as to Alberforce, but he insisted upon seeing William for himself. It was the birthday of the twins, and William, in spite of the coming visit of the lawyer, was determined to have the party he had planned. They were all assembled and making a great noise when Uncle Frank arrived with Alberforce. The two brothers met, and William lent the other a dress suit and told him to comb back his neatly parted hair in city style. Then, when Alberforce appeared in the dining room, they all took him for his brother. This was fortunate, as the lawyer had arrived and was at that moment with Uncle Frank, who had done all he could to make the party keep quiet. The lawyer insisted upon seeing William, and Frank brought in Alberforce by mistake. Of course he answered all the lawyer's searching questions about chorus girls and cocktails in the negative, and the lawyer was satisfied. Marianne De Voe, an actress who thought herself engaged to William, now appeared, and also mistook Alberforce for his brother. She declared that if he refused to marry her she would sue him. In the meantime, Grandma and the aunts repented of their rashness in letting Alberforce to go the city alone, and followed him. They arrived and met William, who was much taken with Mattie. His party was sent home, and he sat on the sofa with the four country women. Uncle Frank entered and found them. William begged Grandma to take him back to the country, and as Alberforce was only too delighted to stay with Uncle Frank, the arrangement was made. William rejuvenates the three women, and we see them, at the end, on their way to a card party.
