New Play in Manhattan

Perfectly Scandalous-- In the beaverboard Park Avenue apartment of Capitalist Sydney North lives a curious set of people--North, his young and frivolous wife, his adopted daughter, his sister and her stepson. Their domestic entanglements are set forth right away by having Mr. North's private secretary read off an explanatory statement, as in the oldtime first-scenes between butlers and maids. Mr. North's sister's stepson is loved by Mr. North's adopted daughter. His wife is loved by the private secretary who wants her to elope with him. Mr. North's sister's stepson, a vapid character, does not know whom he loves. Mr. North loves nobody. The sister's stepson is caught drunk, having chastely spent the night in Mrs. North's bedroom. The adopted daughter learns that she is really Mr. North's illegitimate daughter. In the end the two young folk are mated, the private secretary goes off to Spain without his employer's wife.
