MI DARLING CHILDREN Penelope Craven (Lois Brown), a charming widow of a little over forty, is expecting Paul Ames (Ted Van Dieken), a wealthy business man, to propose. At the last minute she gets a wire from Ned Inness (Gerald Van Gundy) announcing he is calling on her to discuss the revival of a play Penelope has starred in when she was younger. But wait] Penelope is over forty] The part calls for a girl of eighteen, but you are only as old as you feel. Penelope feels eighteen. If her daughters Miriam (Mabel Pfisterer), eighteen, and Harriet (Opal Pollard), seventeen, were only twelve. Penelope decides the girls are only twelve. Miriam and Harriet dress as twelve-year-old twins. Oie laugh piles right on top of the last. There is Ed Hughes (Dick Werner), who is practically engaged to Harriet and has to dress as fourteen to see his steady. When Mr. Ames first met Penelope he forgot to tell her he had a son George (Robert Dahl), in college. Since Mr. Ames doesn't want to appear too old George dresses up in his old scout uniform. Roberta (joAnn Ferry) , from next door has to wear a short dress, too] Penelope's darling children certainly are a headache. But Lilac (JoAnne Avery), the funniest colored lacjy baby sitter, solves everything. She is a specialist in baby sitting and she has a baby sitting uniform loaded with gadgets for baby sitting. Mr. Ames is older than he thinks, when he proposes he gets a crick in his back. Lilac comes to the rescue with a mustard plaster. How did this crazy funny mix-up end? Happily to be sure, with everything turning out just fine. TAKE YOUR MEDICINE Wow] Leave it to young Bill Jackson (Dick Werner), to get himself into a terrible Jam. But can you blame him for not correcting a wrong impression when fifty thousand dollars are at stake? Tou see, Bill is a Doctor of Philosophy and a college professor, which means he really can be called Doctor all right. But his fiance,' Angela (JoAnne Avery), has a wealthy cranky uncle who likes medical doctors but is strongly prejudiced against professors. So when Angela brings Bill to meet Uncle Henry (Duane Chittenden), in the hospital and introduces him as Dr. Jackson, Uncle Henry thinks he is a surgeon------- and no one corrects him because he promises to give Angela and Bill $50,000 for the first life Bill saves. Then, there are the antics of the two hospital roommates, Dodson and Puckett (Gerald Van Gundy), who keeps things in a continuous uproar. Puckett, jolly and extremely mis-chievious, and Dodson, wealthy, crabby and overbearing, keep the hospital staff in hot water from start to finish. Then there are also the special nurses, Dottie (Donna Pierce) and Pat (Mabel Pfisterer), Then there's the nurse who is always popping in and out taking temperatures. That is Dodie (Opal Pollard). Miss Holt (Lois Brown) has a time trying to keep everything in order while the doctor is out of town. And there are Jack (Robert Dahl), the witty orderly, and funny Dovie Finkledink (JoAnn Ferry). This, like almost every ‘play, came out all right in the end with everyone happy and everything ending fine.
