The name of the favorite is to be disclosed to Dick by the lawyer after the proposal. Each girl outdoes herself to impress Dick. Elaine, the beauty, completely dazzles him for a day. Susan, the brains of the family, interests him for a short time. Patience, the good angel of the family, drags him around to visit the sick and poor, thus winning his temporary admiration. Frankie, the athlete, wears him down with hikes, riding, and tennis. The fluttery, effusive mother practically ref- erees the contest, driving Dick almost to distraction. But his lifesaver is plain Mary Jane, the quiet little homemaker, who curiously enough is his grandfather s favorite. The part of Magnolia, the colored cook of ample proportions, may be played by a man. The attorney has a very small part. The situations are quite comical and very tense at times. You'll roar at the confusion of Dick as he all but proposes to each of the sisters. You'll love his romance with the adorable Mary Jane. This is a play which is very popular with high school groups. 25
