"A jó tündér" by Ferenc Molnár is a stage comedy written in the early 20th century. It centers on Lu, a quick-witted, soft‑hearted young woman who poses as a refined married lady while trying to spread luck, and in the process entangles a rich American businessman, a proud but penniless lawyer, a blustering state official, and a knowing headwaiter in a sparkling farce about class, desire, and make‑believe. The opening of the
play shows Lu arriving incognito to a discreet hotel supper arranged by Konrád, a wealthy trust president, where she insists on propriety, rebuffs gifts, and maintains the pose of a respectable wife. Recognized by the headwaiter as a cinema usherette, she confides her fantasy of being a “good fairy,” even returning a lost cigarette case and, on impulse, picking a random lawyer—Dr. Spórum—from the phone book to be her “husband,” so Konrád will shower him with a lucrative retainer. A drunken state secretary crashes the supper, and Lu fiercely defends her supposed spouse’s honor before departing. The scene shifts to Spórum’s shabby office, revealing his poverty, stubborn ethics, and loyal secretary; Lu arrives first, seeking legal advice about her lie, then admits she used his name, leaving the indignant yet tempted Spórum morally torn just as Konrád is due to appear.
