A Date With Judy

Judy is determined to beat the slacks off Tootsie Whiteman by soliciting contributions to the Community Relief Fund—the winner to be Queen and lead the grand march at the school dance. Soliciting is too slow, however, and she enters a whole raft of contests, as a means of raising some quick money—using her parents' names. The results are disasterous. Judy's father wins honorable mention in a nation-wide contest for the most "kissable lips." But Judy is not one to give up easily. She tries her hand at writing and concocts a "true confession" story entitled I Am a Bigamist. Unfortunately, the "true confession" script gets mixed up with Mrs. Foster's speech to the P.T.A., and when she is unable to give the speech herself, it is read for her. Judy, meanwhile, has been trying to interest a theatrical producer in giving her and Mitzi jobs as actresses. They even do a scene from the high school spring play for the astonished producer. In the midst of their act, Mrs. Schultzhammer sweeps in, waving the "confession manuscript" and demanding that Mrs. Foster resign from the P.T.A. They'll have no bigamast in their organization! On top of this, Oogie barges in and tells Judy he's tired of waiting for her to make up her mind. He's accepted Tootsie Whiteman's invitation to the dance. Judy practically disolves in tears. Life has reached tragic proportions for Judy—but before the evening is over she almost makes a new conquest, is mixed up in a near-elopement—and finally, in a last-minute mad rush, goes to the dance with Oogie—and, believe it or not, she is crowned Queen, too, in place of Tootsie! This is as heart-warming and laughable a comedy as you will ever want to see.
