Because of daughter Goody ' s boisterous friends, Daddy Little is continually hav- ing tantrums. He thinks all the romance of young life should be- gin as it did when he was a boy, and therefore cannot imagine why Goody has picked Ham Ellers, the most boisterous of the young hoodlums, to fall in love with. When Mr. Little tries to fix up Goody ' s life with a promising young businessman, Norman Peel, he finds himself face to face with Norman ' s aunt, who excites him almost to the point of homicide. Matters do not improve when son Filmer, who is at that hard, hard age where to be different is worse than death, has his own troubles, in the person of Antoinette, and when Henriette Peller invades the Little household as a Southern siren and vamps Mr. Little and everyone else. The result is a hilarious mixup right to the end of the play. Upper Left: Henriette (Garcille McDonald): I hope you ' re going to love your little Henriette, Mr. Little. She just loves everybody herself. Mr. Little (Bill Hathaway): That ' s very nice. Lower Left: Goody (Linda Harding): Isn ' t childhood marvelous. Mother? It dissrraccs itself with drugstore smell pills and then comes trying to poke its nose into adult affairs. Filmer (Bob Wolfe): You better listen — what ' s become of Ham Ellers with all this Norman Peel, Norman Peel, Norman Pee!? —25—
