Synopsis

Excerpt from The Spirit of Captain Kidd: A Vaudeville Playlet in Two Scenes Timothy McSorley, an Irish laborer engaged in tearing down an old house, said to be the residence at one time of the notorious Captain Kidd, becomes highly interested in the stories told him by one Hi. Grass, of the whereabouts of buried treasure in the ruins. Finally he turns up a tin box containing written instructions to the finder to repair at once to Grasshopper Hollow on the Coast of Maine, and to search in a certain cave where a vast treasure lies concealed. "(Signed) McCarthy." Scene II shows the cave where, after a week's travel on foot, the two heroes arrive and immediately set to work to discover the treasure. Here again is a tin box unearthed, this time filled with "rocks." A note is found, hoping the treasure hunters would appreciate the joke. "(Signed) McCarthy." Costumes. Timothy McSorley - Typical Irish hod-carrier make-up, not a burlesque one. Hi. Grass - Typical Rube make-up. Wears three medals on his coat.
