Carolyn Norback in “Tourists Accommodated” was a deaf old aunt who dropped in some irrelevant but localized and humorous lines from time to time. In case you missed the play, no need to miss all the fun.
Aunt Jane: Bill Perron is a-taking his winter underwear off this week. I heard Dutchie say she was going to have to wash them just this one week more before summer and she was glad of it.
Aunt Jane: Cows are out again, I see. Bob Graves’ fences are queer, always let their cows out.
Aunt Jane: They say Paul Tole has bought himself a new car, but I don’t believe a word of it. The old one wa’n’t more than five years old.
Aunt Jane: Well, Joel and Emmeline say they’re goin’ to get married and Tommy Murray is a-doing the catering – and high time, too.
Aunt Jane: Farmstead Farms is a-selling strawberry preserves to city people and a-asking thirty cents a jar – a nawful price, I call it.
Aunt Jane: Well, what do you think? That red cow of Sheldon Sawyer’s is sick again.
Aunt Jane: Well, Malnotti’s calf got out again last night and this time he run out on the railroad bridge and got all four legs through the ties. Linda Edkin saw him just in the nick of time and telephoned down to the Depot to hold the morning train till they could get him out.
Aunt Jane: Sandy Smith was just a-tellin” her daughter that Janet Clough had a post card from that fellow that was here selling books last week, and he said……….
Well, that Carolyn Norback is sumthin’ else!!
