SECOND SIGHT; OR, YOUR FORTUNE FOR A DOLLAR.
A Farcical Comedy, in One Act, by Bernard Herbert.
Four male and one female characters—Light comedian, low comedian, Irishman, Mexican nobleman and juvenile lady. Scene: A Clairvoyant’s Parlor in New York. Time of playing, one hour.
The frantic efforts of Mr. Birdwhistle, a timorous music teacher, to escape the fury of Don Fiasco de Caramba, an untamed Mexican; the dismal predicaments of Dionysius O. Rourké and the clairvoyant scenes will keep the audience in a continuous ripple. Companies in search of a serious piece should NOT select this play.
WANTED: A CONFIDENTIAL CLERK.
A Farce, in One Act, by W. F. Chapman.
Six male characters, viz.: Eccentric old man, with a partiality for proverbs; Irishman, “dude,” shabby genteel comedian, talkative “sport,” and clerk. No scenery required. Time of playing, thirty minutes.
A capital farce, containing none but “star” parts, with scope for easy character acting, racy dialogue, funny situations and comical “business.”
