by Hilda Vaughan and Laurier Lister
[Starring] Helen Shingler

The action of the play begins in the year 1873 in the country home of Howell and Emily Treowain on the Welsh border. It is a charming love story, unfolding in an atmosphere of antimacassars, bobbing servants, and match-making mammas. There are faithful lovers, a dashing young officer, two, beautiful daughters, and a father whose gruff exterior hides a heart of gold.
