Posted inComedy, Great Gildersleeve
Like every other town in the World War 2 era, Summerfield is in a big war bond drive. Gildersleeve and the whole family are doing all they can in support of the war effort. Marjorie is taking part in a theatrical group, Gildy is on the war bond committee, and he questions her about her play. She is a little star struck after her director has been praising her abilities. Birdie is a little upset that she won't eat, and Leroy is relentless in his teasing of her that Marjorie flees to her room.
