Willie Baxter falls in love with a flippant little clinging vine and the complications which arise when he thinks he must have a dress suit and goes to any lengths to get one are very humorous. Jane, the small sister, is continually placing obstacles in the way of her brother's love affair. Homer Pratt and John Leslie were highly amusing in their characterizations of the young boy. Robert Thomas made a splendid father. Majorie Hentzen and Zelpha Land who played the part of the mother gave excellent portrayals of their character. Celina Young as the young daughter contributed a great deal to the enjoyment of the audience. I To the most critical obseiyers it was a well selected cast and a fine play, coached and presented by Miss Helen Hoobs.
