“SEVENTEEN” (APRIL 8-9) The plot concerns Willie Baxter, not a boy, not a man, just 17. Willie demanded a dress suit, was denied one, so he quietly borrowed his father’s, only to be found out by Jane, his young sister, and the most hated and baneful object of his life. All this was to make an impression on Lola Pratt, the baby-talk lady who was visiting May Parcher. Then on the last night of Lola’s visit he was left without a dance with her. He gives up women and decides to go to college. Much credit is due Miss Caldwell for her successful management of the play.
