HozU the Modern
Grandmother Is
Badly Maligned

Mrs Widdimore is the romantic, sill
ver-haired grandmother of "Thc Gypsy
Trail,' with a grandson who is sup
posed to be the pride Of the Cleveland
business world.
In the first act Ned, determined to
kidpap his lady love in accordance
with all convention, promises to pro-
vide chaperone. SO he turns to the
telephone and rings up long-sufcring
grandmother.
Ned~-Prospcct 3o72, please.
Hello. Is Mrs. Widdimore there ?
In bed? At this hour? Yes, Kate, this
is Mr.. Edward. Wake her up.
Wait a minute, can't hear you. Hello,
grandma, this is Edward / want you
to come right out to the Breakers and
spend the night. Oh, yes, YOU
can. Well, you can get
dressed. PLEASE, grandma
(Although complaisant Mrs. Widdi-
more may protest a bit at her grand
sons ighhandedness, it is more than
evident that he is quite ruthless in his
dominance. In the second act he enters,
carefully escorting herr
Ned-Now, you see, grandma, it
wasn't such a bad trip, after all Here
we are and everything is all right.
Mrs. Widdimore-Everyt is not
all right. The trip was frightful. You

the marrow.
Ned (soothingly)-Thcrc, there,
grandma. Now just few more steps
to that nice easy chair.
Mrs. Widdimorc-Don't clutch my
arm! Pm not an invalid. Go away!
(Of course, Ned's lack of consdera-
tion is wholly unmeant. Nevertheless,
one cannot blame his grandmother for
becoming eventually angry especially
in the whimsical passage wherein Ned
rhapsodizes over the romantic tenden-
cies of the girl he loves.)
Ned-She is, too, romantic. Why,
grandma, she wants to be kidnapped-
by some man.
Mrs. Widdimore (tranquilly)-Of
course she does.
Ncd-Of course?
Mrs. Widdimore-Every girl wants
to be kidnapped some time in her life.

enthralled by fifty-year-old bit of ro-
nance exhumed from lavender.)
