THE FARMER IN THE DELL.

Ma and Pa Boyer work a small farm in Iowa, where they live with their daughter, Adie. Ma thinks that Adie is pretty enough to be in the movies, and convinces Pa to sell the farm and move the family to Hollywood. Pa becomes infuriated with Ma's ambitions for Adie, and in frustration confesses that he was given a role in the film. Pa doesn't tell Ma about his acting job, and the following day Ma invites Nicky Ranovitch, whom she believes to be an important Hollywood producer over for dinner.
