Dem Paid Dear Ruth is the story of an American family living in Kew Gardens, Long Island during World War II. The family consists of Edith and Harry Wilkins, mother and father of a very attractive daughter and one impish, intellectual and impersonating individual. Ruth, the older, is the sensible one of the Wilkin's clan, while Miriam, the younger daughter is the ever serious, pessimistic addition. To show her patriotic nature, she writes letters to several servicemen sign- ing Ruthis name. One of the letters was addressed to a Lt. Bill Seawright who appears to claim Ruth for his own only to discover she is engaged to another man. The play was sincerely enjoyed because it is so closely related to any family which revolves around a teen- ager. dad! Dora ,..,.... ,.,. iN Tarjorie Smith Edith Wilkins .,., .
