Little Eva Ascends plot
John St. George, who plays "Uncle Tom" in blackface, and younger brother Roy, who plays "Little Eva" in a wig and dress, are the sons of Blanche St. George, owner of a repertory company that performs "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in small towns. Both boys detest the stage, but sixteen-year-old Roy is particularly sensitive to playing a girl because their train is bound for the Connecticut town where his sweetheart lives, and she plans to see the play with her parents. When the company checks into the only hotel in town, John notes his mother's excitement at meeting the proprietor, Mr. Wilson, and the fact that they are served "traveling salesman's meat" at the dinner table instead of the thinner, less tasty "actor's meat." The reason, he learns, is that Wilson is his and Roy's father, whom Blanche left many years ago to pursue her stage career.
