The play was centered around a rather dead town called Eureka, where Bob Mannion, editor of the Eureka News, labored constantly under the yoke of the one, great and only John Wargrim, a hard-hearted business man. Bob had almost decided that you couldn’t wake up Eureka with the discovery of gold in Main street. Then Jimmy Samson, the ambitious young representative of an advertising company, breezes into town. Jimmy, a human alarm clock. promptly proceeds to wake up everybody and his first move sets the town gasping. Then follows a period of hectic excitement and grand mixups until the end of the play when everyone seems satisfied. The two comedy characters in the play, Jud Fenton and Mrs. Nelson Dodd, brought hilarious laughter with their quarrels and differences. The play was presented to a large-size audience and was one of the first royalty plays given in a long time. Marlin Baker furnished enjoyable vocal numbers between acts. The play was under the capable direction of Mr. Howard Dagley. Jud Fenton....... Bob Mannion...... Virgy Mannion....
