Bertha, The Bartender's Beautiful Baby
Author(s):
Charles George
This is a delicious bit of fooling that ridicules the old-time blood-and-thunder melodramas of the long ago. Trafalgar Tremayne, his dear wife, Tessie, and their little "baby?" girl (aged ten) are a happy family when they have the Sweet Tooth Candy Kitchen in the village of Polecat Center. But Tremayne becomes ambitious and when he gets the opportunity to buy the run-down Aroma Inn at a sacrifice, he deserts the sweetmeat emporium for "headier" refreshment. Now, wife Tessie is much opposed to this move, fearing temptation for her noble spouse, and the wrong environment for their precious babe. A shooting by the villainous gambler, cheat and swindler, Rodney Remington, which almost "ventilates" little Bertha, makes Trafalgar decide to give up the terrible Aroma and return to the gum drops and jelly beans. This little travesty is filled to the brim with side-splitting (and wholesome) comedy. It is ideal for all groups from high schools to little theatres.
