Jenny Kissed Me
by Jean Kerr

THE STORY: A charming young girl comes to live in the household of an elderly priest.

Jenny, 18, is the precise opposite of the kind of smart sophisticated young miss that puzzles and exasperates Father Moynihan.

The plot is concerned with the priest's clumsy endeavors to make Jenny attractive to the boys.

Studying feminine magazines and getting pointers on feminine psychology and new fashions, he is so successful that he nearly overplays his hand.

A romance runs through the play, which ends in the engagement of Jenny to an attractive, somewhat older man who, trying hard to be fair and give Jenny a chance to meet eligible youngsters, almost risks losing her.

But this man had been Jenny's choice from the first.

The play is made doubly amusing by several young girls and boys, all of whom manage to make Jenny “hep.”

Or rather, so they think, since Jenny remains to the end a simple and attractive girl, and her union with the man she loves is a proper solution to all the plots and plans of the various characters.
