The story of the play Is woven around
one Fanny O'Dowda, daughter Of Count
O'Dowda, an Irish nobleman, educated in
England, but who has spent most Of his
years in Venice. Count O'Dowda received
his training at Cambridge University
many. many years ago, and because he
remembers 1t as an old-fashioned select
university, he sends his daughter there
to be educated. It never occurs to him
that the university has grown with the
years that have elapsed since his grad

time she is graduated, she Is thorough
and typical twentieth century young lady,
full of ambition and very anxious to be-

is about to return to her father, she
writes that she has written play and
asks him to have II produced for her as
a birthday gift. She wants 1t produced
anonymously with professional actors, a
professional stage director, and requests
her father to invite four of the most i'm
