CGiii Comment
'The Irish Washerwoman' is to be produced by Manager Mathew Talon. The cast is all engaged but the leading lady. Finally in the newspaper Muggs, the playwright, sees the picture of an Irish cook at a downtown restaurant. He insists that she is the type he wants, and Talon must engage her. She goes up and is introduced to the stage manager, Mr. Small. Rehearsal starts, but Bridget entirely unused to the theater, wants to run things her own way. She has a row with Small, which almost comes to blows, but Talon and Muggs smooth matters over and the rehearsal starts again. After many amusing incidents, she goes back to her kitchen, much to the delight of Mr. Murphy, who is having a hard time without her.
