Every season the club gave a show at which the net proceeds, sometimes 18 bucks, went to charity. "Romeo and Juliet" was the coming dramatic treat. For the part of Juliet there were two candidates, Mrs. Skilligan and Mrs. Winkle. The club elected Mrs. Winkle by a majority of one and some were mean enough to say she voted for herself. Mrs. Skilligan and her dinner party came in late and upset chairs in a genteel manner. Mrs. Winkle lasted, but she was too pink for words. She took 8 curtain calls, or two more than Melba's record. Next thing anyone knew there were no Skilligans at the Winkle affairs and no Winkles at the Skilligan functions. They vied with each other in expensive entertainment. Then two men met in bankruptcy court. "It's a dead heat," said Skilligan to Winkle. Moral: The men are always the first to quit. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
