PETER FLIES HIGH


A comedy in 3 acts. By Myron C. Fagan. Produced originally at the Gaiety
Theatre, New York. 8 males, 6 females. 1 interior scene. Modern
costumes.

This delightful comedy concerns one Peter Turner who caddied for the
Morgans, the Kahns and the Guggenheims on the links at Miami. It was
during one of these rounds on the golf links that Peter fell over and
killed a stray dog. The local paper built the story up so that Peter
becomes a nation-wide hero who saved the lives of many people by
strangling a mad canine. By the time the story reaches his home town,
Rosedale, New Jersey, Peter has become the boon companion of all the
money kings--at least in the public mind--and Peter does his best to
foster the deception. Carried away by his imagination he pretends to be
a friend of the great, persuades his brother-in-law to buy an option to
a ninety-acre lot on the assumption that "Guggenheim" is to build a golf
course there, obtains $10,000 from the local banker and then becomes
badly involved in his deceptions. After Peter endures the ridicule of
his townsfolk and the ire of the banker there suddenly appears on the
scene a representative of "Guggenheim" who wants the acreage not for a
golf course but an air field, and promptly turns over a check for
$75,000 for a part of it.

(Royalty, twenty-five dollars.) PRICE 75 CENTS.
