“How to Produce Amateur Plays”
BY BARRETT H. CLARK
A Marriage Proposal. By Anton Tchekoff. 2 men, 1 woman. A comedy in 1 act, by one of the greatest of modern Russian writers. This little farce is very popular, and satirizes the people of Russia in an amusing manner. Price 35 cents.
The Green Coat. By Alfred de Musset and Emile Augier. 3 men, 1 woman. A slight and comic one-act character sketch of the life of Bohemian artists in Paris, written by one of France’s greatest poets and one of her best-known dramatists. Price 35 cents.
The Wager. By Giuseppe Giacosa. 4 men, 4 women. This one-act poetic comedy, written by the most celebrated dramatist of modern Italy, was the author’s first work. It treats of a wager made by a proud young page, who risks his life on the outcome of a game of chess. Price 35 cents.
Phormio. A Latin comedy in 5 acts. By Terence. 11 men, 2 women. An up-to-date version of the famous comedy. One of the masterpieces of Latin drama; the story of a father who returns to find that his son has married a slave girl. Phormio, the parasite-villain who causes numerous comic complications, succeeds in unraveling the difficulties, and all ends happily. Price 35 cents.
The Little Shepherdess. A poetic comedy in 1 act. By Andre Rivoire. 1 man, 2 women. A charming pastoral sketch by a well-known French poet and dramatist. Played with success at the Comedie Francaise. Price 35 cents.
The Boor. By Anton Tchekoff. 2 men, 1 woman. A well-known one-act farce by the celebrated Russian master; it is concerned with Russian characters, and portrays with masterly skill the comic side of country life. Price 35 cents.
The Black Pearl. By Victorien Sardou. Comedy in 3 acts. 7 men, 3 women. One of Sardou’s most famous comedies of intrigue. A house has, it is thought, been robbed. But through skilful investigation it is found that the havoc wrought has been done by lightning. Price 35 cents.
Charming Leandre. By Theodore de Banville. 2 men, 1 woman. In 1 act. The author of “Gringoire” is here seen in a poetic vein, yet the Frenchman’s innate sense of humor recalls, in this satirical little play, the genius of Moliere. Price 35 cents.
