Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hail the Conquering Hero: A Comedy in Three Acts
Scene - The setting for all three acts is a stone terrace adjoining the side entrance of a comfortable brick and timber house in the late summer of the year 1919. The low gables, the quaint doorway with an old-fashioned lantern hung on either door post, the charmingly draped windows as seen from the outside, the walls which the vines have striven to cover, the variety of potted plants and growing things seen everywhere bespeak the artistic instinct of the presiding genius of the place. A large green rug partly covers the stone ?oor. To R. Stands a broad swing banked with cushions, and about the terrace are scattered comfortable wicker chairs and seats. One feels at first glance the air of comfort and artistic fitness of things that gives to the scene 0 homelike and much-lived - in appearance.
