Masks, with Jim's beast, Tides, Among the lions, The reason, The house: one act plays of contemporary life
Middleton, George
American drama -- 20th century; One-act plays, American
No wonder “Kempy” has been such a tremendous hit in New York,
Chicago--wherever it has played. It snaps with wit and humor
of the most delightful kind. It’s electric. It’s small-town
folk perfectly pictured. Full of types of varied sorts, each
one done to a turn and served with zestful sauce. An ideal
entertainment for amusement purposes. The story is about a
high-falutin’ daughter who in a fit of pique marries the
young plumber-architect, who comes to fix the water pipes,
just because he “understands” her, having read her book and
having sworn to marry the authoress. But in that story lies
all the humor that kept the audience laughing every second of
every act. Of course there are lots of ramifications, each
of which bears its own brand of laughter-making potentials.
But the plot and the story are not the main things. There is,
for instance, the work of the company. The fun growing out of
this family mixup is lively and clean. (Royalty, twenty-five
dollars.)
Price, 75 Cents.
