((Sabrina 'lair JJ Directed hy Dr. Charles Gaupp Charmingly gay. light. and frothy. "Sabrina Fair" gave Portland Staters an all too-brief glance into the life of a rich family and their problems with their chauffeur's daughter. Upon arriving home from school in Paris. Sabrina quickly won the hearts of all as she ran about enthusiastically surprising the Larrabee family by being a lovely, well-bred young lady rather than the shy, mousy girl she'd been when sent away to school. Determined to discover whether she still loved David Larrabee as she had when she'd left, she soon had him so in love with her that he wanted to marry her-this provided a very amusing scene, for David was so uncertain of his family's response to this wish, that he asked his family before asking Sabrina. His mother was shocked, his father indignant, his older brother, Linus, Jr., highly amused, and Aunt Julia optimistic about the union. Chauffeur Fairchild, however, when consulted, refused his permission, feeling that Sabrina should keep her place. This response further angered Mr. Larrabee and amused the others, and when Sabrina appeared and revealed that she had not even been asked yet, nearly every one was in hysterics and DaVid was highly embarrassed. When he finally did ask Sabrina, David was not too surprise'j at being refused. Sabrina had found out what she'd come home to find out. so when her admirer from France appeared she was ready to believe he was the one she loved, but then she discovered that he'd traveled across the ocean not to find her but to transact a business deal with the Larrabees. She realized that the only man for her was Linus Jr. Linus, however, had not yet admitted to himself that he loved Sabrina and it took some harsh words from Aunt Julia to bring the two together and the play to a happy ending. 198
