"Petticoat Fever," a comedy, was Fred C. Blanchard's last play for the regular season before he departed for a leave of absence. The play deals with Dascom Dinsmore, a feverish wireless operator played by Andy James, who is frustrated from loneliness in the Arctic Circle. Beatrice Fisher as Ethel Campion literally descends from the clouds to sweep him off his feet, bringing her fiance, Earl Bopp. Dascom's fiancee appears in the person of Helen Wilson, and thereby hangs the conflict, affording a fun-lilled evening.
