Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from East of Lynn, Mass
How can we play a burlesque unless someone is mar ried P East Lynne is up to date. They come in an auto. Say, where do you think you are? This plot is laid in England. She acts very strangely. In fact, I think she is the worst actress I ever saw. I am Richard B. Ware, a fugitive from justice. The police may discover me in spite Of themselves. Ah, the garden gate is open. How high the sky is tonight. Nobody around. There fore. I must be alone. DO you really think I killed the man P Some say he was a dead one before you met that night. Hush, make all the noise possible. Someone is approaching. Let's go into the garden where there's more room to think. Sometimes-sometimes I sing. Woman, have a care! A couple Of cares. Say, ain't I the Villain? Ain't I got to make you trouble P Yes, I have brought you here to getyou in bad with your wife. It's a splendid idea but rather overworked. Can't be done. Not in the winter time. You must go before it begins to snow. Too late. Seven years have elapsed within a very short space Of time. I wonder where my husband is P You're not the first wife to wonder. Hello, husband. Hello, wife.
Ah, my little son. Madame Tomato Vine is a fine nurse, is she not? Yes - she is not. Oh, what shall I do? I am putting the finish Of this play On the burn. Well, what's the trouble P I can't think Of anything more to say P Then if Willie's dead, let the [curtain drop.
