32-03-28 Audition - Too Many Gooks

🌟ART VAN HARVEY 🌟BERNARDINE FLYNN 

Margaret Rush, a young Sade and Vic

Sade's mother is in town and staying with the Gooks.  This is generally trouble for most every son-in-law; but the real problem here is that Sade feels fat, dumb and unloved.  An awkward Vic does his best to remedy the situation by handing out some bad compliments.  It's strange beginnings at the small house halfway up the next block.

SCRIPT SYNOPSIS
(by Barbara Schwarz) 

Before I read the above synopsis, I was led to believe this audition (which most-likely never aired since there is no newspaper account of it) was focused on Sade's mother visiting. That's part of what is going on, but the focal point of this audition is to show us just what a terrible inferiority complex Sade has and that the couple seems to be in dire straits as far as healthy relationships go.

Was there ever a Mother Rush who was to be a part of the show?  Probably not.  The photo above seems to be pure publicity and I have found no shred of evidence that Sade's mother was anything more than a MacGuffin or magazine/newspaper prop.
