GROWING PAINS

Comedy. 3 acts. By Aurania Rouverol. 7 males, 8 females, 1 set (patio).

Modern costumes.

Produced originally at the Ambassador Theatre in New York. George and

Terry are the son and daughter of Professor and Mrs. McIntyre who

struggle valiantly to lead their children through the difficult phases

of adolescence, so familiar to us all. Terry is shown outgrowing the

tomboy stage, and unable to play with the boys on an equal status. She

finds herself thrown back on her feminine resources; and how she tries

out her "resources," makes this play an illuminating study of feminine

psychology. George McIntyre, the boy adolescent, goes through the

customary symptoms of his age--begging his parents for a car--and

falling victim of the wiles of Prudence, a successful "vamp" in the

neighborhood. At a party George is sent out for some more ice cream. In

his rush to get back for his dance with Prudence, he passes a traffic

light, and is pursued home by an officer, subsequently is hauled off to

jail, loses Prudence, but discovers a new blue-eyed blonde in the

neighborhood.

(Royalty, $25.00.) Price, 75 cents.
