It tells the story of the middle-class Barlows: widowed Grace Barlow and her two daughters-Connie, nineteen: and Hazel, four years younger. Grace is a woman who has a forceful personality, is a leader in civic activity, and rules her home with a tyrannical hand. She has crushed all the attempts of her daughters to assert their independence, even pick- ing out Connie's fiance, the fresh and loud young go-getter, Wally Tupper. Pansy Henshaw, Grace's rival and wife of the local banker, has designs on Grace's position as civic leader. When the Hen- shaws entertain in their home Karl van Grieg, a somewhat mysterious young man from the East, Grace sees her opportunity to deal a death blow to Pansy's pretensions. Although Karl and Connie are greatly attracted to each other, she conspires with Wally to unmask Karl as the shady character she is convinced he really is. This encounter proves to be Grace's Waterloo, and it is demon- strated to her that meddling with other peoplc-'s lives can be disastrous. When we leave, Grace is a c-hastened woman, looking forward to a new and simpler life, which she has finally come to under- stand can be a happier life. CAST Grace Barlow. . Joe Rigby. ..
