Sixteen-year-old Penny is walking around with a book on her head and a dreamy look in her eyes and practicing elocution with her mouth full of pebbles, preparing herself to play the star role in the movie version of a popular novel. The au- thor is searching the country for his ideal-he's coming to town tomorrow-and Penny just knows she'll be chosen! What Penny doesn't know is that Sally, the new maid, is a former child movie star, now grown up, whom a clever pub- licity agent has planted there to be miraculously udiscovered' by the author. So Penny ignores Sally Qwho practices dance steps when no oneys aroundj, and she ignores the talent of her quiet, unselfish older sister, Mavis, who has small parts in radio. Penny and Joanna have their hands full with preparations . . . for Penny intends to take her girl friend, Joanna, with her to Hollywood. Penny and Joanna give up playing in the tennis tournament with their boy friends, Greg and Kerry. They tell them they are putting childish things like tennis behind them. Greg and Kerry confer with Gram and decide to outwit Penny and Joanna by posing as the great author and a bru- nette model. They do-and the girls fall for it! A riotous scene follows in which Henri, the clothes designer, shows off his latest creations on attractive models for Penny to consider for her descent on Hollywood. But the disguised Greg and Kerry poke fun at each lovely outht and fi- nally kick the indignant Henri out the door. Then, just as Penny is prepared to say thumbs down on famous authors-dad shows up with the real author. But the plans for the udiscoveryv of Sally go awry, for Sally has fallen in love with Mark, the older brother, whose one ambition is to run a chicken farm! That seems to Sally a lot more glamorous than a screen career, for she re- members the real Hollywood of hard work and disappointments. Sally and Mark plan their little white cottage, with its picket fence and roses, and about this time their first chicken triumphantly lays an egg! In the midst of all the excitement, the author does choose a star for his play-but the girl he chooses surprises everyone. But by this time Penny and Joanna have changed their minds again and paired off for the tennis tournament with Greg and Kerry. And Gram has given Mother a piece of her mind for running about giving lec- tures on child rearing when she should be looking after her own family. This is a play that has every- thing, youth, charm, funny incidents, and good parts for all. It is no surprise to us that it is one of the most popular plays in the country. Page 24
