9955 House Cleaning Time
|
Ada Jones and Len Spencer
|
A thrilling domestic episode that everyone knows about from sad experience.
Ada Jones and the "lady behind the broom" is as peevish as the occasion demands,
even if she does say she is "A woman of few words."
Len Spencer, as John, only succeeds in getting in her way—(Poor John!)
He is given a good dusting until he feels he is the most unnecessary piece of furniture in the house.
Mary's mood changes suddenly though, when they run across a packet of their old love letters.
Household cares fly out of the window with the remembrance of happy bygone days.
Mary: "You remember how hard I used to try to make the biscuits?"
John: "Yes, and how hard you used to make them." (Both laugh.)
A tender bit of pathos is added as Mary sings: "In After Years When I Am Old."
