Scottish Play: No. 148

Marguerite Drummond wins a beauty competition and sees before her a great future.

She is encouraged by her mother, but her father, a plain farmer, sees in his daughter Sarah, beauty of a better kind - the beauty of usefulness. Marguerite starts to improve the house and replaces her granny's beloved china dogs with modern vases. A reporter comes to interview the beauty queen, but finds granny more interesting and interviews her instead.

Rich comedy, with an underlying note of pathos and drama.
