It is a story of strife in an old- ladies’ home. Two of the old ladies, Mrs. lilair and Mrs. Dyer, are so can tankerous that they cannot get along with any of the other la dies. In an attempt to solve the problem, Mrs. Mitchell, the ma tron, places them in the .same room. The manner in which they attempted to iron out their diHi- culties results in an interesting situation. The part of Mrs. Blair will be portrayed by Beatrice Wil kins, that of Miss Dyer by Margar et Earp, and that of Mrs. Mitchell t)y Frances Goodwin. H;xzel Far mer will play the part of Mrs. Fullerton, another of the olil- la dies in the home. George Kelly’s play, “Finders- Keepers,” is a modern realistic comedy.
