Written by Norman Krasna

Directed by Sigismond de R. Diettrich

     "A war-time comedy. The well-known plot, which has been the background of a Paramount movie, tells the plight of a Long Island family in which the youngest daughter, Miriam has written a shoe box full of letters bearing her older sister's name, to a lonely overseas soldier, Lt. William Seawright.
    As the play opens, the lieutenant arrives to claim the hand of his "beloved" Ruth, who tries to keep him from knowing she wasn't aware of the letters, and is already engaged to Albert Kummer, a stuffy bank executive.
    In the title role, Sheila Graham Morrison made a beautiful Ruth, and her voice and poise were a joy to behold. In fact. we don't blame Albert for getting so mad when the lieutenant moved in, W. Cooper Mathews, Jr. was literally a scream as the cigarette- hating Kummer, and he got better and better as the play progressed.
    Strongest performance was turned in by Charles E. Mounts as the judge, and father of Ruth and Miriam. In character at all times, Mounts turned out a first rate job, as did Marilyn Barrett, as his wife. They were quite believable as "old married folks."
    Kelmer Baxter was a handsome choice for Bill Seawright, who obviously became surer of his acting as he became surer of Ruth. Martit Martin made the most of some good lines, in a slight but oh-so-charming accent; and Margie Smith pleased the audience by her wanderings on and off stage as Dora, the colored maid.
    Professionally appealing was Edith C. Mathews, who inserted a lot of pathos in her voice as the unhappy Martha Seawright, victim of a spat with her lover, Sgt. Chuck Vincent, in the capable hands of Robert Gibson. Robert F. Langford's one line of dialog at the end of the show brought down the house.
    As you can see, there'll be an awful lot of talent walking around on the GHS stage tonight, so you'd better plan to be present. You won't be sorry". ---- Gainesville Daily Sun, November 16, 1948
