sanitarium. = Since Elwood’s
mother has died, his sister Veta
Mae Simmons, and her
daughter, Myrtle Mae, return
home to live with Elwood. At an
afternoon tea in which Myrtle
Mae is introduced to society,
Elwood brings his “Harvey”
with him and literally breaks up
the party. The fun continues
when Vita tries to committ
“Harvey” to the sanitarium.
