Everyone done fine and the play was played well thruoutaltho I had two serious objections; one was that there was too much time between scenes; the other was that Bill didn’t love Beulah (Lydia) enough in the lst act. In the third act, I helped Bill change his suit to a white satin one which looked fine. At the end of the play, I helped him pack his suitcase and we hurried home.
