“THE CORNER STORE” In a quaint, okl fashioned village store Bud Wheeler was working for his father. He had recently returned from the city where he had been dismissed from his posi¬ tion without explanation. The constabulary, Otto Guckenheimer, was interrupted in his shrewd questions concerning Bud’s return by Jerusha Jane Alvirah Ann Boggs, a country girl, but tricky, who had escaped from the poor-house. Aunt. Hannah, Budd’s mother, gave the poor girl a home. Soon Harvey Barton and Dora, Eli’s niece, arrived from the city and later Eli, too, came, bringing with him Dora’s inheritance, $61,248 in good old Uncle Sam’s currency. In the second act, while at the supper table in the room above the corner store, Harvey informed Dora, Aunt Hannah and Uncle Eli that Bud had been accused of forgeries. Eli became indignant over the “dirty, uncalled for slur,’’ when he realized that Barton, Sr., also had access to the notes on which the forgeries had been made. During the same night Eli’s guard over the $61,248 was interrupted by a crash in the adjoining room. During his absence Bud entered, wrote his farewell letter and returned to the city. After Bud’s departure Harvey stole the treasure, which was lifted from his pocket by Jerushy who was hiding behind the coats on the hall tree. When Eli returned to the room he immediately connected Bud’s departure with the theft of Dora’s money. The last act pictured the return of Bud into the home. Eli proclaimed his son’s guilt, but the latter was exonerated by Jerusha. Barton was humiliated just before the curtain was lowered. —JESSIE PRESSLER. Page Twenty-Three
