She has two men eager to marry her. one begging her to bob her hair, and the other pleading that she leave it uncut. Promising that her decision about her hair shall mean her decision between them, she prepares for a masquerade party. However, sfie finds she cannot make up her mind, and runs away with a strange man who passes in an automobile. Their ride leads to a series of dramatic and thrilling adventures, but when the exciting night is over Connemara has made up her mind — and marries the handsome stranger.

Other gems included in the musical programme rendered are “La Lyre Glorieuse.” ’Gabriel Marie.” “La Colombe,” Gounod. “Mile Modiste.” Victor Hubert, “Opera Bouffe.” Fik, “Blue Mazurka.” Lehr, and “Blue Paradise,” Romberg.
