Description: This delightful comedy opened at Henry Miller's Theatre in New York on December 13, 1944. It was an immediate hit, starring Virginia Gilmore as Ruth with Lenore Lonergan as her kid sister, Miriam. Miriam is a high school senior — an intense high school senior. She heads movements, leads committees, and writes innumerable protests to the State Department. Her foremost interest is brightening the lives of lonely servicemen (whom she Norman Krasna has never seen) via V-mail, the only catch being that Miriam signs her letters with Ruth's name and sends Ruth's lovely pictures as added attractions. When one of her serviceman-correspondents comes home to roost, with Miriam's letters in his pocket and a proposal to the unsuspecting Ruth on the tip of his tongue, the fun begins. This enchanting and hilarious play will be delighting Broadway audiences for many Performances to come. This special edition of DEAR RUTH by Norman Krasna has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Random House, Inc., New York. Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime
