[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.
Price, 25 cents
[GETTING THE RANGE]
A Comedy in One Act
By Helen Sherman Griffith
Eight female characters. Costumes, modern; scenery, an exterior. Well suited for out-of-door performances. Plays an hour and a quarter. Information of value to the enemy somehow leaks out from a frontier town and the leak cannot be found or stopped. But Captain Brooke, of the Secret Service, finally locates the offender amid a maze of false clues, in the person of a washerwoman who hangs out her clothes day after day in ways and places to give the desired information. A capital play, well recommended.

[LUCINDA SPEAKS]
A Comedy in Two Acts
By Gladys Ruth Bridgham
Eight women. Scene, an interior; costumes, modern. Plays an hour and a quarter. Isabel Jewett has dropped her homely middle name, Lucinda, and with it many sterling traits of character, and is not a very good mother to the daughter of her husband over in France. But circumstances bring “Lucinda” to life again with wonderful results. A pretty and dramatic contrast that is very effective. Well recommended.
