The Monett Times reports that Monett Chapter DeMolay staged the comedy 'Oh Milly, Wait a Minute', written and directed by Walter C. Lanyon, to a large audience, calling it one of the biggest local-production hits of the season, with a repeat performance announced for the following night. The recoverable plot detail: the character 'Paw Perkins' sends a message that he is sending home an orphan girl from Paris, and when she arrives at 'Doodenville, Utah' at the Perkins' home it astonishes Mrs. Perkins and the family. The OCR is badly degraded and interleaved with an unrelated adjacent story; cast names beyond Lanyon could not be reliably recovered. A second scrape of the same review (node:4277, media:1651) OCRs the cast paragraph more cleanly and recovers what the first copy lost. The play's characters are Paw Perkins and Maw Perkins, Lizzie, Jerry and Jane — astonished at the Parisian girl's arrival — and Zeke, Gussie, Hi and Jake, who are delighted by it; the orphan girl proves to be 'a gay Parisian' and brings someone with her, the sentence naming 'Misses Kitty Bell' among the performers before the recovered text breaks off. The review's subhead reads 'Rich Comedy, Pretty Girls, Beautiful Costumes Delighted a Large [audience]', and it credits the repeat performance to the play having 'made a decided hit with her audience'. Of Lanyon it says he 'is to be congratulated upon his excellent selection of the caste of characters and skillful training which made the play a perfect success'. The day and month of this production come from a clipping about a different one: the advance notice for the later Carney Hall run (node:4286) reports that the play 'made a great hit at Monett, when presented there on Dec. 17'. The year is not stated there either, so it continues to rest on this event's existing 1921 claim.
