Excerpt from Back to the Farm: A Play in Three Acts

Mrs. Merill is a short woman of about fifty, with silvery-gray hair. She walks with a quick, nervous gait, and her words are snapped out with a knowing air. In Act I she wears a kitchen apron over a plain, dark wrapper. In Act II she wears an old-fashioned black silk skirt; short, tightly fitted jacket with full sleeves; a small bonnet tied under the chin, and mitts. In Act III she wears a black-and-white striped house dress and a small white apron.

Mr. Merill is a tall, rather thin man, of the Yankee type, about fifty years old. His shoulders are stooped, and he walks with a shuffling gait. He speaks in a hard, dry, authoritative voice. He wears blue overalls, flannel shirt, and a gray felt hat.

Mr. Allen is a typical Yankee. He talks with a Yankee drawl. He has a chin beard. He wears a straw hat, overalls, high boots, and a ragged flannel shirt.

Rose Meade is a pretty, vivacious girl of about twenty, with somewhat more style than the ordinary country girl. She has a sweet voice, pretty manners, and much personal charm. In Act I she wears a simple pink linen dress, with white lace collar and cuffs, and a large straw hat trimmed with flowers and tied under the chin with ribbons. In Act II she wears a pretty evening dress of yellow silk with a bunch of red roses at her belt and a bright ornament in her hair. In Act III she is dressed in a traveling suit, over which she wears a motor coat and pink motor veil.

Merton Merill is a rather awkward country boy of nineteen. He is very earnest and gives the impression of having thought rather more than either Allen or his father. In Act I he wears the ordinary clothes of a farm hand. In Act II he wears a dark blue business suit, with gray tie. In Act III he has a gray flannel shirt and gray trousers.

Mr. Ashley is a lawyer of about thirty, very much impressed with his own dignity, eager to give advice. He is determined to make a success in life. In Act I he is dressed in a hunting suit and carries a shotgun. In Act II he wears a conventional dress suit; in Act III a motor coat and cap.

Gus Anderson is a large-boned, awkward man of thirty. He is of decided Scandinavian type, with a shock of yellow hair and has a broad Scandinavian accent. In Act I he wears a gray outside shirt, the sleeves of which are rolled up, showing a red undershirt. In Act Hi he wears a white dairyman's suit and white cap.

Hulda is a Swedish girl who has just come over. She is lazy and shiftless, but very good-natured. She has untidy yellow hair, blue eyes, and a large mouth which is open. She wears a red calico waist, flowered pink skirt, and a blue gingham apron tied on crooked.
