ISOSCELES

 

A Play in One Act

 

_By Walter Ben Hare_

 

 

Two male, one female characters. Costumes, modern; scene, an interior.

Plays twenty minutes. Royalty $2.50 for each performance. An admirable

little travesty of the conventional emotional recipe calling for

husband, wife and lover. Played in the proper spirit of burlesque it is

howlingly funny. Strongly recommended for the semi-professional uses of

schools of acting. A capital bit for a benefit or exhibition programme,

offering a decided novelty.

 

_Price, 25 cents_

 

 

 

 

NO TRESPASSING

 

A Play in Three Acts

 

_By Evelyn Gray Whiting_

 

 

Six males, five females. Costumes, modern; scenery, a single easy

interior. Plays two hours. Free of royalty. Lisle Irving, a lively "city

girl," goes down into the country on a vacation and to get rid of a

husband of her father's choice whom she has never seen, and runs into

the very man living there under another name. He meets her by accident

and takes her to be one of a pair of twins who have been living at the

farmhouse. She discovers his mistake and in the character of both twins

in alternation gives him the time of his life, incidentally falling in

love with him. An unusual abundance of good comedy characters, including

one--Bill Meader--of great originality and humor, sure to make a big

hit. Strongly recommended.

Daisy Jordan, crazy to get "on the stage," comes to New York and starves

there in a lodging house waiting for her chance. She schemes to get an

interview with Cicely Denver, a popular actress, to act before her, but

and ingenious opportunities for good acting. Recommended.

TICKETS, PLEASE!

 

A Comedy in One Act

 

_By Irving Dale_

not important. Plays twenty minutes. Mignon asks Charlotte to get the

three to Linda, who leaves two at Mignon's house after she has left

home. But they get to the theatre somehow. Bright, funny and

characteristic. Strongly recommended.

HITTY'S SERVICE FLAG

 

A Comedy in Two Acts

 

_By Gladys Ruth Bridgham_

 

 

Eleven female characters. Costumes, modern; scenery, an interior. Plays

an hour and a quarter. Hitty, a patriotic spinster, quite alone in the

world, nevertheless hangs up a service flag in her window without any

right to do so, and opens a Tea Room for the benefit of the Red Cross.

She gives shelter to Stella Hassy under circumstances that close other

doors against her, and offers refuge to Marjorie Winslow and her little

daughter, whose father in France finally gives her the right to the

flag. A strong dramatic presentation of a lovable character and an ideal

patriotism. Strongly recommended, especially for women's clubs.

THE KNITTING CLUB MEETS

 

A Comedy in One Act

 

_By Helen Sherman Griffith_

 

 

Nine female characters. Costumes, modern; scenery, an interior. Plays

half an hour. Eleanor will not forego luxuries nor in other ways "do her

bit," putting herself before her country; but when her old enemy, Jane

Rivers, comes to the Knitting Club straight from France to tell the

story of her experiences, she is moved to forget her quarrel and leads

them all in her sacrifices to the cause. An admirably stimulating piece,

ending with a "melting pot" to which the audience may also be asked to contribute. Urged as a decided novelty in patriotic plays.
