Cartoon (Mat 40c; Cut $1.50) "Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks “Taming of the Shrew” The ceremony over, Petruchio begins his taming in dead earnest. He announces to all the guests that business calls him hence and consequently they Tiall have to excuse him from presiding at the feast. Katherine pleads, threatens, commands; but Petruchio is unmoved. In front of the company, who are dumbstruck by this time, he packs her off to her new home on an old brokendown nag. A storm comes up and they finish the journey in driving rain. A couple of spills and a complete drenching haven’t im- proved Katherine’s disposition. But her husband is too much for her. He rages and storms about the way his servants have arranged things, finds fault with the food, throws it all over the place, rants till the rafters tremble and concludes by forbidding Katherine to eat and ordering her to retire. For the sake of quiet she submits to everything. While Katherine is in the bridal chamber, Petruchio returns to the ban" quet hall and dines heartily. In the height of good spirits he confides his plans for the taming of the shrew” to his canine pal. Katherine, unob¬ served, overhears it all from the balcony. She is greatly amused by the dis¬ covery. When Petruchio returns to the bridal suite and resumes his batter¬ ing tactics he finds a meek and acquiescent Katherine. If he says the moon is the sun, Katherine says the same. If he says the night is mild, Katherine, even though the wind almost blows her to the other side of the room, agrees. Petruchio is quite amazed but he cannot help but be proud of the success of his scheme. He finds fault with the way the bed has been made up and yanks off all its covers. Katherine finds fault with the give of the springs and tosses the huge box mattress to a corner of the room. But matters reach a climax when Petruchio takes away Katherine’s pillow allowing her head to knock against the wall with a considerable bang. As he walks away from her, Katherine gives vent to her feelings by hurling a well aimed stool in his direction. Petruchio slumps to the ground. Thoroughly aroused, Katherine takes her whip in hand and is about to chastise Petruchio. But the onslaught is over. Petruchio is no longer the blustering master; he has become the hurt little boy pleading for consolation. Katherine’s feelings alternate between concern and amusement at this discovery. She wisely agrees with his every whim and makes her cocky husband believe his system has really effected the change in her character. At a wedding banquet sometime later, Petru¬ chio wants to show off to the guests by demonstrating how he has tamed the shrew. He commands “Kate” to tell the other ladies present their duties toward their husbands. And Kate goes on to tell her friends that “Thy hus¬ band is thy lord, thy fife, thy keeper.” All this time Petruchio beams with satisfaction. He does not see the big wink Katherine uses as an exclamation mark to her address. *Use this heading for each installment. Page Seven
