Final Performance, Or The Curtain Falls
Charles George
The Still Alarm
by George S Kaufman
Synopsis
Set in the bedroom of a hotel which is on fire.
The fun lies in the manner in which it is put out.
In the face of most exciting danger, the characters play in the well bred manner of English drawing room actors.
All amenities are preserved, even when two firemen come in.
One of these might be called a practicing professional, but the other is an amateur musician.
Although the fire under them becomes hotter every moment, he begins to tune his fiddle.
Against a background of flames seen outside, he advances to the center of the stage and begins to play "Keep the Home Fires Burning."
