The Cub leader told him that plans had been made to present the play before three judges the following Saturday. An invitation also would be extended to parents to witness the show.
“This play deserves a larger audience,” Mr. Kain declared enthusiastically. “Why not put out posters and invite the town?”
“We’d like to do that, Mr. Kain. The boys have worked hard. We were afraid though, that the bank might not want so many people tramping over the grounds.”
“Let me take care of that,” replied the bank employee. “After the way the Cubs saved the property for us, I’m sure we owe them a little something.”
The Cubs were delighted by Mr. Kain’s change of attitude.
They were even more pleased when he went on, saying: “From watching rehearsals and listening to an outline of the epilogue, I plainly see you’re handicapped by having to do all your scenes outdoors.”
“Yes, we are, but that can’t be helped,” Mr. Hatfield agreed.
“Why not do the final scene inside the Castle at the window?”
“Could it be arranged?”
“I’m sure of it. I’ll see the bank president this very afternoon and let you know.” Mr. Kain arose and picked up his hat. “Well, good-bye boys, and good luck in winning the contest,” he said. “It’s been most educational knowing you.”
