A LESSON IN ELEGANCE.
A Comedy in One Act, by Bernard Herbert.
Four female characters—A butterfly of fashion, comic servant, old lady and unsophisticated young widow. The scene (interior) is laid at Newport in the height of the season.
Consists purely of light comedy, is bright and brisk in action, with plenty of “business,” and has a dénouement as unexpected as it is welcome. The play can be effectively staged and costumed, if desired. Time of representation, thirty minutes.
BY FORCE OF IMPULSE.
A Drama, in Five Acts, by H. V. Vogt.
Nine male and three female characters, viz.: Leading and second juvenile men, old man, genteel villain, walking gentleman, first and second light comedians, heavy character, low comedian, leading and second juvenile ladies and comic old maid.
A thoroughly good drama, worthy of the best talent. The action takes place during the period of the late civil war, the scene being laid partly in the army. Well adapted to the use of G. A. R. posts, though not confined to them in interest. The plot is interesting and well developed; the situations are striking; the “business” is effective, and every tableau will fetch an encore. Time of representation, two hours and a half.
Copies of any of the above Plays will be mailed, post-paid, to any address, on receipt of the price.
