The Adventures of Sally

I cudgeled my brain to think of something nice to say about this book, but I was unable to. By standards of ordinary writers it may not be bad, but the standards of other PG Wodehouse books this stinks so bad, it could cause asphyxiation in readers. The story is a comic romance as are most of his books. The only problem is that as romances go it is bad as comedy goes it is worse.

Sally - Heroine. Came into some money when she turned 21. Used that to promote a play written by the man she thinks she loves. Two men love her.

Ginger Kemp - The first of the two admirer; impecunious but lovable loser. He invokes all of her maternal instinct. He also is a half-scrum at rugger and was almost an international.

Mr. Carmyle - The other admirer. Rich and obnoxious. He is also Ginger's cousin

Gerald Foster - Sally thinks she loves him but he is a worm. He uses her to get ahead, but dumps her when he no longer need her.

Elsa Doland - Seems a nice person and is a very good actress. She uses Gerald and Sally to get ahead, but dumps them both when she no longer need them.

Fillmore - The only good in him is that he is Sally's brother. Other wise he grovels and borrows when he is poor and is pompous and afraid of poor connections when he is rich.

Mabel Hobson - Cannot act at all but believe herself to be a star.
