Yost Dorothy Daly Loyd Lambert Bonnie Jean Anderson Wava Lambert Mattie Still Rose Black Dale Baker Escoe Mathis Henry Doyle John Estes LaVere Wiedemann Eldon Parks Dr. Drinkwater, a pompous and egotistical man owning a sanitarium, is expecting his granddaughter, Glory, whom he has never seen. She is coming to spend her last twenty-four hours before her twenty-first birthday with him in order to inherit her grandmother’s money. Glory conceives the idea of sending her friend Honor in her place so she can go to South America to make a talking picture and still get her inheritance. But Bob, Glory’s fiance, decides to spend his vacation at the Sanitarium. Realizing that he will spoil her plans when he sees Honor, she is forced to go there to explain to him. Meanwhile Honor has met Philip, a young ranch owner, and they have fallen in love. A pretentious kidnapping which turns out to be very real, a misdelivered letter, and mistaken identity confuse things, but a few words of explanation smooth away the troubles and every one is happy. Beautiful singing and dancing helped to make this operetta one of the best ever given. 1‘aye 29
