THE STORY: Jennifer Goodall’s fifteen-year-old daughter, Nancy, is curious about her mother’s romantic life before her marriage. Together they look through Jennifer’s old scrapbook, and Nancy asks her mother how a girl can tell when she meets the right man. Jennifer tells Nancy about some of the men who were in love with her seventeen years ago, when she was nineteen. There were six altogether, ranging from a Harvard boy to the middle-aged head of an advertising agency, and for a while Jennifer was completely puzzled as to which of her six pursuers she really loved. Her coquettish adventures lead her parents, her suitor and herself on a chase, but at last she is able to decide, and in an epilogue full of delightful suspense, we finally learn who her choice was—and of course it’s the right one.
“One of the cutest ideas for a play anybody ever had…” —New York World-Telegram.
