A Musical Entertainment In One Act
Libretto by H. MacDONALD BARR Music by CARL F. PRICE
The most interesting, mirth-provoking entertainment which we have been privileged to see or hear in recent years.
It goes right to your funny bone with a new kind of tickle.
It provides a whole evening of the finest fun without for an instant suggesting the vulgar or commonplace. There is a laugh in every line of the libretto and a lilt to every brace of music which makes it irresistible. The spell cannot be broken by the fall of the curtain for the oft repeated strains of “Love is the way to spell Living” are sure to echo and re-echo long after the entertainment is over.
This entertainment is easily within the ability of the ordinary church choir with augmented chorus. Special costumes are needed by only three or four characters, the chorus being in ordinary dress. No elaborate stage setting is necessary, a neat platform with an adjoining room, or with a door, being the only requisites for its presentation. A piano should be on the platform.
