Royce Hendrix Chauffeur.............Chester Bowen THE STORY John Bruce, born in a little town in Connecticutt, returns, after an absence of twenty years, to build a factory for his people. The land necessary for the factory is owned by his enemy, Abner Ketcham, who refuses to sell it, and plans to convert it into a cemetery. Abner’s nephew, Benny, a “super-salesman,” undertakes to dispose of the cemetery lots by high powered salesmanship and then relaxes from his labors by playing the trombone. John secretly plans to buy up all the lots. A rumor gets abroad that he has suddenly lost his fortune in a Wall Street crash. Having fallen in love with a girl, who insists on marrying a poor man, he allows the rumor to go uncorrected. To make his supposed poverty convincing, he takes the position of clerk at the hotel. Complications begin to arise, multiplied by Uncle Abner, the hotel guests and Benny’s trombone. At the right time, however, John rises above his difficulties, puts his house in order, marries his girl and buys Uncle Abner’s cemetery on his own terms. The play ends gloriously for everybody.
