MAJESTIC
“SO LONG LETTY” In the story Uncle Claude Davis, an eccentric millionaire, brings his two grand-daughters, typical flappers, to a fashionable beach hotel. The girls are looking for a riotous time at the beach, but Uncle Claude is looking for quiet and rest. Letty Robbins solicits business for a massage and beauty parlour, in this way earning enough to keep herself beautified and also to enable her to give and attend a continuous round of parties. She tries to drag Uncle Claude into the beauty shop and he, furious at her roughhouse tactics, dashes away to his nephew’s cottage on the beach nearby.
Ho does not know that Letty is his nephew’s wife and by mistake he gets into the Miller cottage, adjoining the Robbins's bungalow, and sees his nephew’s wife, and is pleased because she is so quiet and demure. He promises them a fat cheque. Tom Robbins is bored because his wife is never at home, and Harry Miller is bored because his wife will neve* go out. They discuss changing wives. The girls talk it over and agree to teach them a lesson. A few days after the exchange, Tommy is annoyed at Grq.ce’s constant attention and Harry is worn out from the round of parties Letty has been dragging him to. Bright supports are also to be shown.
