The whole revisal sounds like a stress dream. Apparently the real story (not that it matters all that much in this show especially) is that "Molly" was in Paris to visit her daughter who was studying at the Sorbonne when she received word that her grandson in Denver was seriously ill. She booked passage on the Titanic to travel back home. Are any of those characters in the show, or would that simply interfere with the hijinks that ensue?

None of those characters are in the show. She returns from Paris because Johnny has had a stroke. (and somehow, even tho she is heading to Colorad) he manages to get to the Pier in NY to meet her so there can be a final tableau.

In this version, she goes to Europe to get away from Johnny after their fight. The fight was caused because she sided with her mining friends against him in a union dispute, and while she was doing that, he was having an affair.

Their children are in the show, but in this version, it's Johnny himself who is ill, and that's what prompts Molly to return to the US on the Titanic.
