Product Information

Excerpt from Star Bright a Comedy Drama in Three Acts When Star was sixteen years of age she was sent to college, where, clandestinely, she met an actor named Arthur Pulver, who induced her to elope with him for the stage career she had coveted from her infancy. As a result her father disowned her, and for twelve years her name was never allowed to be spoken in the home; while the mother's grief over the father's attitude nearly cost her her life and condemned her to an existence of almost hopeless invalidism. Twelve years after, at the time of the opening scenes of the play, this same man comes to the neighborhood under an assumed name, represents himself as an artist, and securing board in the Bright family endeavors to tempt Sunshine to leave home with him in order to secure the college career her father has always denied her, because of her sister's experience, of which she herself kws thing at all. The elopement is frustrated through the intervention of Smith, a private detective, who has come to the house as a boarder and been taken in by the different members of the family as the new minister, the new doctor, the new editor, the tax assessor and a phograph agent, which is the role he himself has elected to play in the vicinity, as well as the lover of Bird Denton, a college girl, spending her vacation in the home, whose lover is a slightly different man with a slightly different name. In reality Smith has come to the village in the service of the absent daughter. Star, to prevent her betrayer from carrying out his nefarious designs against her sister. A phograph record is employed to reveal to the detective the real state of mind of both the father and the mother regarding the lost daughter, who comes in person to the old home in the guise of a boarder just in time to prevent her sister from being forced by her harsh father into marriage with the villain, as a means of saving her reputation, which he chooses to consider endangered by the attempted elopement.
