HIS DINNER FOR TWO
A playlet in 1 act, by Franklin Johnston. 1 male, 1 female character. 1 interior scene. Time, about 20 minutes. The perplexities of a young poet and his wife in financial distress. He discovers that their very last possible dinner is barely sufficient for one. To make sure that his wife shall have it alone, he pretends to have an engagement with friends. She, unaware of his self-denial, gets a little jealous of his preferring the society of friends and leaving her alone. He suddenly obtains lucrative employment and returns to tell her of it. A mere sketch, but admirably elaborated, and a charming analysis of individual character.
