Clarence
Comedy in 4 acts by Booth Tarkington. 5 males, 5 females. 2 interiors.
Costumes, modern. Plays 2-1/2 hours.
One of the "five million", Clarence served where he was sent--though it
was no further than Texas. As an entomologist he found--on this side of
the ocean--no field for his specialty, so they set him to driving mules.
Now, reduced to civil life and seeking a job, he finds a position in the
home of one Wheeler, a wealthy man with a family. And because he'd "been
in the army" he becomes guide, philosopher and friend to the members of
that distracted family group. Clarence's position is an anomolous one.
He mends the plumbing, tunes the piano, types--off stage--and plays the
saxophone. And around him revolves such a group of characters as only
Booth Tarkington could offer. It is a real American comedy, at which the
audience ripples with appreciative and delighted laughter.
Those marvelous young people, Cora and Bobby, are portrait sketches
warranted to appeal to everyone.
Royalty, $25.00. Price, 75 cents.
