Adoniram:

Act 2:
1:18 Word switch. Script reads (p. 25): "consarn her flirtin' little picter." I hear: "consarn her flippin' little picter." The flirting seems to be the basis of his irritation, so I think this one is important.
9:35 OPTIONAL suggestion. It seems to me that this s-t-e-a-l-t-h-i-l-y (p. 36) is meant to be drawn out and spoken long and slow, rather than actually spelled out. In particular, because Adoniram doesn't seem to be all that educated or literate. But feel free to disagree with me here.

Act 3 PL ok.

Act 4:
0:06 Missed your first line, p. 60: "Wal, I dunno 's it's any more'n...."
0:36 OPTIONAL suggestion. Adoniram is borrowing the phrase "puffickly mag" from Pansy (who has already used it about 50 times by this point), and our Pansy reader pronounced "mag" with a hard g. I mention it in case you would like to match her.
2:10 Missing lines: p. 66 "I don't know German..." p. 67 "Yas! Jest's soon's Pansy an' me..." "That'll do, young feller..."

Adoniram act 2 is PL ok.

Unfortunately, it looks like I wasn't clear in my notes for act 4. I gave you the page numbers and the first few words of the missing lines so that you could find them easily, but I didn't type them out completely. There's a bit more to each of them than just what I gave. I made the assumption that you would double check my notes against the script. Sorry about that.

So close this time! Two out of the three original missing lines are now present and entire.

0:08 P. 60. Currently, we have the partial line: "Wal, I dunno 's it's any more'n...." The whole thing is "Wal, I dunno 's it's any more'n sh' orter do. She couldn't love him such an awful much if she didn't. You'd do it, wouldn't you, Pansy?" (That bit about "sh' orter do" had me stumped at first, but I think it means "she ought to do.")

One more try should do it!
