About the Play: Charley's Aunt was first performed in 1892 at the Roy- alty Theater in London, and ran for 1,466 performances. The play was such a success that it almost became an industry. There have been three movie versions, the most recent being by Jack Benny, in 1941. Art Carney starred in a TV version in 1957. The Phoenix College production was the original version written by Brandon Thomas in 1892. Masque and Dagger dedicated this production fo the countless thou- sands who had gone before them in the performance of this, the most famous of all English farces. 151

Dinner lubricates business. - Boswell JACK CHESNEY and Charles Wykeham wish to propose to two young ladies, Kitty Verdun and Amy Spettigue, before they leave for Scotland with Mr. Spettigue. After inviting them for tea, Jack and Charles find that the chaperone they had planned to have lfor then a boy didn't court without onel would not arrive on time. Their roommate, Lord Fancourt Babberley was playing an old lady in some amateur theatricals. They quickly forced him into their services for the day. Fancourt plays the role so convincingly that the girls believe completely and could pour out their whole hearts to her Chimjf' He receives TWO proposals of mar- riage during the same afternon, one from Colonel Ches- ney and one from Stephen Spettigue, the latter which he accepts, but only if Spettigue gives his consent for Kitty and Amy to marry. Jack's butler thinks the whole situation is a big ioke, but Ela Delahay, Donna Lucia's traveling companion doesn't, for she realizes that Charley's Aunt is her childhood sweetheart. When the real aunt identifies herself, the mischief is undone. Marriage flourishes.
