 • THE mMHFMK The Four Flushed' Andy Whittaker, for six years a clerk in Rigg’s Shoe Store plans on the managership when Mr. Rigg’s retires. The bubble bursts when the son, Robert Riggs who is just home from college and doesn’t know that a “B” is wider than an A”, is appointed. His hopes are raised when his uncle Ira, rich from the oil fields, comes forward with the news that Andy is to fall heir to his money. Now everyone of course, is willing and anxious to grant Andy credit. We find him buying evening clothes, jewelry and a car. He imagines himself deeply in love with June Allen. When at the Allen party, Uncle Ira, very much disgusted at the display of extravagance on the part of Andy, proceeds to disinherit him, Mrs. Allen orders June to return all the jewelry and demands that Andy leave the house. The third act sees Andy back in the store at work as a clerk. Mr. Hanner-ton informs him that his patent arch supporter has been accepted and his royalties will make him a wealthy man. Uncle Ira promptly pronounces Andy a “Whittaker all over.” The bank is about to take the store away from Mr. Riggs due to his failure to meet a certain note. Andy redeems this and takes over the store, with it Jerry, the faithful cashier, after he convinces her that “the little red school house did sit on a hill.” Cast of Characters Jerry Dean Evangeline Gay Horace Riggs Andy Whittaker Mrs. Dwight Allen June Allen Dr. Giles Faraday P.
