Chicken Every Sunday

Emily Blachman has opened her mansion to boarders to ensure that her family will be housed and fed when her imaginative husband over extends himself. Already president of the trolley line, the bank and the laundry, he is always borrowing for new investments. The hilarious boarders are an old maid schoolteacher, a mysterious salesman, a widow who dresses extravagantly, an aged prospector, a man who sneaks up the back stairs to visit the teacher, an alcoholic yodeler, a widow who makes her son write poetry and a scion of an old Boston family. Both young men woo the Blachman's daughter.
