[WRONG NUMBERS]
A Triologue Without a Moral
By Essex Dane
Three women. Scene, an interior; unimportant. Costumes, modern. Plays twenty minutes. Royalty, $5.00. An intensely dramatic episode between two shop-lifters in a department store, in which “diamond cuts diamond” in a vividly exciting and absorbingly interesting battle of wits. A great success in the author’s hands in War Camp work, and recommended in the strongest terms. A really powerful little play.
Price, 25 cents
[FLEURETTE & CO.]
A Duologue in One Act
By Essex Dane
Two women. Scene, an interior; costumes, modern. Plays twenty minutes. Royalty, $5.00. Mrs. Paynter, a society lady who does not pay her bills, by a mischance puts it into the power of a struggling dressmaker, professionally known as “Fleurette & Co.,” to teach her a valuable lesson and, incidentally, to collect her bill. A strikingly ingenious and entertaining little piece of strong dramatic interest, strongly recommended.
Price, 25 cents
