Mr. Leamons, director of the play, w8s presented a gift by the cast to show their appreciation. Daffodil Coleman, generally nicknamed Daffy, was always getting her family in trouble. Her latest adventure was the most serious. Daffy, Joan Gast, had written for eight months to a soldier end in her letters had varnished the truth quite a little bit about her family. Her father, Arnold Werner, is a bandmaster in the village park actually, but Daffy hod elevated him to a symphonic leader and composer. Mrs. Coleman, Dorothy Schutt, had a little artistic talent, but in the varnishing she had become a well-known artist whose work was very much in demand. Cora, an older sister, played by Theresa Motz, changed from a shrinking violet to a crimson poppy as a result of the letters. Charles, a seventeen year old brother, Don Johnson, was the usual brat, but Daffy hod made him a Golden Glove contender. Another sister, Dorothea, Betty Arrison. wes a snob, but was described es a heart breaker to the soldier, Kent Merrill. When Kent, Bob Werner. came for a visit, the family was on a spot. Jim Carver, Norman Wright, was on admirer of Dorothea which becomes complicated after the arrival of Kent. John J. Coleman, a lawyer, V11 ton Pugh, who unfortunately had the same name as Daffy's father, was involved in the family's trouble. Miss Ihorpe, Dons Glaze, made a sketch of Dsffy which created another complication. Duane Van Gundy, played the part of Ellsworth Norton, who had courted Cora for seven years. As customary the pley ends, and everyone lives happily ever after. v - THe TaJ
