Ellendale presented the one-act play: And There Was Light. The plot was: Neurotic Mre. Pendleton come to see her doctor. She has a good husban, beautiful children, and great wealth, but she is tired of life. She maintains that she has no friends; no one understands her. The doctor has a girl come in, an ingenue, to enact a little play to show the woman how much she has; how fortunate she is. In a moving scene Mrs. Fendleton is led to understand how much she has to live for, and she goes home to her family.
