Holiday, play by
Philip Barry, produced in 1928 and published in 1929.
Johnny Case, a young lawyer, and Julia Seton, a New York heiress, meet during a winter holiday and return to announce their engagement. Johnny has not realized Julia's wealth and social position, and he is disconcerted by her father's cool reception and also by his realization that she shares her father's conventional beliefs and interests. He finds himself much more sympathetic to Julia's sister Linda, a more dynamic person, particularly when Julia, like her father, opposes his desire to forgo the earning of money by taking a holiday for a few years. After Julia breaks with Johnny, he and Linda elope to Europe.
