A comedy in three acts, by LeRoy Arnold. 5 males, 4 females. One
interior scene. Costumes modern. Plays 2-1/4 hours.
The story is based on the will of an eccentric aunt. It stipulates that
her pretty niece must be affianced before she is twenty-one, and married
to her fiance within a year, if she is to get her spinster relative's
million. Father has nice notions of honor and fails to tell daughter
about the will, so that she may make her choice untrammeled by any other
consideration than that of true love. The action all takes place in the
evening the midnight of which will see her reach twenty-one. Time is
therefore short, and it is hurry, hurry, hurry, if she is to become
engaged and thus save her father from impending bankruptcy.
The situations are intrinsically funny and the dialogue is sprightly.
The characters are natural and unaffected and the action moves with a
snap such as should be expected from its title.
