and the Butter and Egg Man,
played by Dr. Gerald Smith, and
Mr. Collins, played by Edward

fake Aunt Lucia and try to mar

are very flowery, insistent and
funny. Instantly Jerry finds him
self, playing the part of the old
lady, makes love to the other
boys' girls, enjoys the proposals
of the men, and generally adds
to the fun and comedy of the
play. In the end the real Lucia
