BOURNE HIGH SCHOOL 29 The first act of the play opened with Mr. and Mrs. Beebe dis- cussing the coming visit of Mr. and Mrs. Kincaid. Mr. Kincaid is Mr. Beebe’s boss. Mr. Beebe is an average young American clerk who reads all the “Success” stories in the magazines and be- lieves them. Mr. Kincaid at this time is looking for a chief clerk. Mr. Beebe has invited Mr. and Mrs. Kincaid to stop at his home while motoring through Nutley to Atlantic City. The reason for Beebe’s hospitality is that he hopes to become Mr. Kincaid’s chief clerk and incidentally, get invited to the Annual Banquet which Mr. Kincaid’s firm holds each year. To be invited to this Banquet is an honor to any clerk. As the act closes Mr. Kincaid has ar- rived and Beebe has been invited to the Annual Banquet. The second act opens with Beebe trying to learn a speech which he has secured out of a magazine. After hours of labor Beebe learned the speech, and the time for the important banquet arrived. At the Banquet were many men of importance. Each in turn was called upon to say a few words. Tom Baker, Beebe’s rival for the position of chief clerk, was asked to speak before Beebe. Tom Baker had prepared exactly the same speech as Beebe had learned, much to the horror of the Beebe’s. When Beebe was called on next to speak; his wife, Elsie, realizing his predicament, makes up and gives a speech for Beebe, giving as an excuse for Beebe that he had been suddenly stricken that afternoon with laryngitis The third act opened with Beebe in Mr. Kincaid’s office as his chief clerk. As the act continued Tom Baker disclosed the fact that in some way he has found out that Mrs. Beebe did not give the speech that Mr. Beebe had planned. Baker has come to tell Mr. Kincaid. Beebe and Baker are arguing when Mr. Kincaid enters. Baker tells him that Beebe didn’t make up the speech, and that it was Mrs. Beebe’s speech. Because of this Beebe is demoted to his old position. Mrs. Beebe then enters. She finds Beebe down-hearted and discovers the cause. She at once wants to see Mr. Kincaid, and while she is talking with Mr. Kincaid, Mrs. Kincaid enters. Mrs. Beebe tells Mrs. Kincaid what has happened. Mrs. Beebe, in her talk to Mr. Kincaid, proved to him that his wife and all other wives help their husbands as much as possible. Because Mr. Kincaid does not want everyone to know Mrs. Kin- caid has helped him in many ways, Beebe is given back the position of chief clerk. Albert Johnson
