Kiss and Tell
Published by Dramatists Play Service
9 Male 6 Female
She can't stand not being grown up, and when Private Earhart is entertained by the Archers, Corliss plays the young lady and almost precipitates a catastrophe
In fact she considers it a point of honor not to give away the secret that Mildred is the girl her brother Lennie has married
It started when Mildred and Corliss sold kisses for charity and Mildred was accused by the Archers of being a bad influence
This led to complications that seemed serious to the parties concerned, but are delightfully funny to others
Meantime, Lennie became engaged to Mildred in spite of the feud between the Pringles - Mildred's family - and the Archers, and Corliss had to be let in on the secret
That was nothing compared with what happened when the Pringles, on what seemed good evidence, gleefully informed the Archers that Corliss is going to have a baby
As a matter of fact it is Mildred who is in that situation and Corliss, sworn to secrecy, will not speak
This being so, the Archers and Pringles take Corliss' silence as an admission of guilt
Not until the very end is Corliss cleared
