Excerpt from Mary's Millions: A Comedy in Three ActsAbija - Aged 60. 'old in wisdom, but young'in spirits; he generally conceals his Shrewdness beneath a self - assumed rustic stupidity, because he enjoys laughing and being laughed at. The character should be played in such a manner that its strength gradu ally and consistently develops, reaching a winning climax in the final act. His affection for Eudora is something that is understood rather than expressed. He is always kindly and lovable, even when he strives to be fierce. The part affords limitless opportunity for the skilled and sympathetic character actor. His costume throughout the play includes an old, faded denim shirt, with the cuffs rolled back; an old vest, only partially buttoned, so that he can easily turn it back to reveal the badge which is pinned inside; patched trousers, tucked into cow-hide boots; slouch hat. Hale and hearty make-up, with few wrinkles; semi-bald or gray wig; smooth-shaven or short gray goatee.Victor - Aged 35. A hot-house product. Gen erally bored, and when in action, too effusive to be sincere. Generally looking to Lola for instructions as to his next move. Incapable of thinking or acting independently. Wears cutaway coat, striped trous ers, patent leather shoes, gray spats, silk hat, for Act I. Always carries a cane, and wears a flower on his lapel. Evening clothes for Act II. Same, dirty and bedraggled, for Act III. Short mustache and goatee.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
