A three-act play of college life, by Marion Short, specially adapted to
performance by amateurs or high school students. 5 males, 6 females, but
any number of boys and girls may be introduced in the action of the
play. Two settings necessary, a college boy's room and the university
campus. Time, about 2 hours.
Like many another college boy, "Bob" Selby, an all-round popular college
man, becomes possessed of the idea that athletic prowess is more to be
desired than scholarship. He is surprised in the midst of a "spread" in
his room in Regatta week by a visit from his aunt who is putting him
through college. Aunt Serena, "a lady of the old school and the dearest
little woman in the whole world," has hastened to make this visit to her
adored nephew under the mistaken impression that he is about to receive
the Fellowes prize for scholarship. Her grief and chagrin when she
learns that instead of the prize Robert has received "a pink card,"
which is equivalent to suspension for poor scholarship, gives a touch of
pathos to an otherwise jolly comedy of college life. How the repentant
Robert more than redeems himself, carries off honors at the last, and in
the end wins Ruth, the faithful little sweetheart of the "Prom" and the
classroom, makes a story of dramatic interest and brings out very
clearly certain phases of modern college life. There are several
opportunities for the introduction of college songs and "stunts."
Price, 30 Cents.
