Anita and Diana, who have been reared to regard gambling as something of a major vice, decide to gamble on the stock market regardless, and with beginner’s luck they win four hundred thousand dollars.  In order to keep Morgan, an anti-gambling addict and Anita’s fiance, from discovering the situation they tell him that the money was left Anita by an Uncle William who died in the west.  The little lies grow beyond the control of the two girls in an amusing series of climaxes.  Most amusing and concerned is Grandma, who has to be convinced that she had a son William.  Morgan finally sees a flaw and hires a cowboy and an Indian squaw—­actors—­to come and blackmail Anita for half the money.  They are to represent William’s partner and wife.  Anita realizes what Morgan has done, so she scares the two with threats and they leave.  She then tells Morgan that she gave them the money, but he can’t find them.  Finally the situation is cleared, and Anita is conceded to be very clever indeed.

SPRING DANCE

Comedy. 3 acts.  By Philip Barry.  Adapted from an original play by Eleanor Golden and Eloise Barrangon. 6 males, 7 females. 2 interiors.  Modern costumes.

This gay, light, frothy comedy was first produced by Jed Harris at the Empire Theatre in New York where it found a ready audience.  The story concerns a number of New England college girls in general and one, Alexandra—­called Alex—­Benson in particular, who finds it very difficult to attract young men of any description; primarily because she feels that she looks very much like a horse with a fly up its nose, which as a matter of fact, she doesn’t at all.  Alex sets her heart on Sam Thatcher, a Yale man who has turned against college and regimentation to set off for Russia with a free-thinking, free-living, rebellious companion oddly called “The Lippincott,” who knows everything about women except how to get along without them.  When Alex can’t seem to get very far with the courtship by herself, her girl friends decide to take the matter into their own hands to secure Sam for the sad and bewildered Alex.  They conspire to make Sam jealous as well as interested in things other than communism, Russia, and candid cameras, and to raise Alex to the rank of belle of the ball.  Sam, a sad funny figure the world over, finally capitulates under the ministrations of the many females, and he and Alex elope to the great delight of Alex’s gang.

“Spring Dance is a bright and amusing comedy, splendidly adapted, in cast, subject matter, and its collegiate background to students of high school and college.”—­American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
