Synopsis
The Private Ear
$8.99
Published by Samuel French Inc
2 Male 1 Female
This is a tender one act account of a rueful romance
The boy has invited to his hovel for dinner a girl he met at a concert
In the interim he has romanticized her as another Venus, and not to appear gauche, he has asked his man about town friend to coach him
When the girl arrives, she is a very common sort and he is awkward to the point of clumsiness, and destroys the mood
She slaps him for trying to kiss her forcibly
She departs, and he returns to his record, now badly scratched, and the curtain descends on a broken love song
