 Comes A Day         Out By The Country Club

Comes A Day

Synopsis:
as told by Watts in the New York Post: The "central issue is the dour fate of an unhappy small-town family, which had once been rich but has lost everything through the husband's weakness. His wife is embittered and contemptuous, he is lost in a drunken attempt at forgetfulness, his young son treats the father with scorn, and they are counting on the pretty daughter to restore their fortunes by marrying wealth. a pleasant but unambitious youth is rejected," and the richest young man in town becomes engaged to the daughter. The young man reveals himself as an unpleasant character, but it's not until he really goes wild that the mother is willing to admit that her daughter shouldn't marry him. The daughter goes off to marry the man she really loves, and the mother is left behind to pin her saddened hopes on her son.
