A comedy in three acts by James Reach Presented by Senior Class Tuesday Evening April 28, 1936 Produced by special arrangements with Samuel French of New York Contributed by Ann Ramage
The locale is Clarksville, California, an average American town, and the main theme concerns Ned Rollins, who has two chief interests in life: a new species of orange, through which he hopes to make his family rich, and Nina Lorraine, the French Songbird of the Radio, which whose voice he has fallen in love. Em and Arabella, Ned's maiden aunts who are always wrangling with each other have given Ned money for carrying on his experiments with oranges. Marjoeie Parks the girl next door is in love with Ned; Charley Pearson, a high-powered real estate salesman who isn't quite the lady-killer he thinks he is, is in love with Marjorie. When Nina Lorraine visits Clarksville on a personal appearance tour, any number of complications ensue. Ned almost becomes a millionaire; his father almost loses his business; Marjorie discovers something about herself she never knew before; and Charley gets a black eye! But, in the end, Nina proves to be Ned's good angel after all, and Ned's dreams are miraculously coming true. |
