This "Comedy of American Life in Three Acts" by Barry Conners opened at the Ambassador Theatre on 28 September 1925 and ran for 90 performances. The ingénue Hazel has two beaux: the conventional, hardworking Rollo and the happy-go-lucky Bill, whom her father describes as full of applesauce. In 1920s slang, "applesauce" meant doublespeak, hyperbole, flattery. Ultimately, Hazel finds a precarious happiness with Bill.
