CURTAIN by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

First Line: VILLAIN SHOWS HIS INDISCRETION
Last Line: VILLAIN SKIPS, AND ALL ARE HAPPY.
Subject(s): THEATER & THEATERS; STAGE LIFE;
VILLAIN shows his indiscretion,
Villain's partner makes confession.
Juvenile, with golden tresses,
Finds her pa and dons long dresses.
Scapegrace comes home money-laden,
Hero comforts tearful maiden,
Soubrette marries loyal chappie,
Villain skips, and all are happy.
