A Play

The typical South Coast Hotel Beauregarde is peopled by the old, the lonely and the indigent. The manageress, Miss Cooper, is unable to remain aloof from their troubles. In Table No. 1 she attempts to help John Malcolm and his ex-wife Ann, who have ruined each other, find salvation together. In Table No. 2 Major Pollock and Miss Railton-Bell are misfits and their despair draws them together. Miss Cooper gives them the courage to face life.
