...same hotel. The motivation of the plot is provided by the refusal of an arbitrary young heiress to marry the foolish Lord Islington. To escape the marriage she persuades the young Prince Paul De Morlaix to pose as her husband. Everything works smoothly until suspicion necessitates the two young people to occupy the same room overnight. The sophisticated musical comedy patron will not become too hopeful over such a situation.

According to the last report, "the number of Scholars regularly in residence for either the whole or some part of the academic year 1927-1928 was 187-viz., 94 from the British Empire and 93 from the United States of America."
