Director Shirley Heath He's here again-that impish Inner Willy whom Author Bettye Knapp delightfully characterized in The Inner Willy. This time he's off to college — relentlessly goading poor Willoughby into becoming a man. Of course Willoughby needs just that sort of character around. Having led a sheltered life with his three maiden aunts, he'd become about as spineless a creature as ever there was. In the college dorm, he's the one who makes the beds and lends the money and clothes (until he hasn't even a pair of trousers to wear when his aunts arrive to visit). That is, until Inner Willy materializes. Then gradually - very gradually and painfully - Willoughby begins to act like a man. Willoughby has the makings of an athlete, a star football player; but he insists that he comes from a long line of .fainters”. And besides, there's always the danger of a smashed nose and broken bones and all. His three aunts agree; they even decide college life is too strenuous for their frail boy and insist that he return to the home town. And he would have gone, too! But there is a certain blonde - a college newspaper reporter, no less - who tries to encourage Willoughby to stay and become a hero. The college rooters, too, put the pressure on him; and of course there's Inner Willy, who twits and tortures the poor fellow with jibes like: Water on the knees, you know. The family tree had weak limbs. Small wonder then that Willoughby finally decides to stand up to his aunts and announce that he's going to stay and play football. Even those doubtful demures are happy when they see how striking Willoughby looks in a football suit. Most wonderful of all is pretty, blonde Sally's reaction - well ... not quite as wonderful as Inner Willy's disappearing act when he sees that the outer Willy has shed his shackles at last! 2B
