1926 SPENCERIAN 19 A Peep Into the Future ONE-ACT PLAY ' The Cast Mr. Jack Newsom with the airs of an English gentleman. His wife-Frances Allen. Hop Sing, A Chinese Laundryman-Kenneth Noel. Time-Evening in January, 1936. Prologue And it came to pass as is the way of the world that a certain youth, namely Jack Newsom, loved a certain maiden, namely Frances Allen, both of whom were members of the illustrious class of '26, The years passed by, bringing many changes. The girl stayed at home, but the boy went away to college. He was graduated from Indiana University with high honors, and the world began to take note of his abilities. He was given a Junior partnership in a large manufacturing concern in the East. Then came a splendid opportunity of spending four years in England learning the busi- ness of his firm at first hand. After bidding his sweetheart a fond farewell the lad went abroad. Four years later he returned. But what a change had been wrought in our hero. No longer was he the simple, practical Ameri- can business man of former years, but he had acquired the wisdom and mannerisms of a typical English gentleman. To the girl he left behind he seemed more wonderful than ever. They were married immediately upon his arrival in the States, and are now living happily in Boston. fThe scene is laid in the cozy living room of the home of the Newsoms. A pleasant fire blazes brightly in the fireplace. A few comfortable arm chairs are placed about the room, At one end is a reading table covered with current magazines and at the other end is a radio. A piano and a music rack with inviting stacks of sheet music stand in one corner. A few well-chosen pictures hang on the walls, and several gay-colored flowers are arranged attractively about the room. Jack is sitting before the fire, deeply absorbed in the evening newspaper. He is dressed in a jaunty street suit, spats and a red tie, and wears a monocle. Frances is seated at a quaint little desk busily writing a letter. An atmosphere of cheerfulness and do- mestic happiness pervades the scene.J Frances Clooking up from her letterj : Jack, how do you spell Czeckslovakia ? Jack, too interested in his newspaper to pay any attention: Huh? Frances: How is Czeckslovakia spelled? KNO answerj Frances fin exasperationj : For pity sakes, Jack, do wake up and tell me how to spell that word! tJack finally peers out from behind his paper.J Jack Cin a drawling voicebz My word, Frank, you know jolly well I can't spell Czeckslovakia. To whom are you writing, anyway, Dump ? Frances: Yes, and I want to know how to spell that word so I can address the envelope of Dump's letter. Just think! I haven't seen her for five years! What pals we were, and what fun we had! I've so much to tell her. I'm writing her about Catherine Kiser's new book, Confessions of A Bachelor Maid. It's so interesting, and I think Dump will want to read it, since we were all classmates together! Great men cultivate love -Cheese Raper.
