"In view of other amateur plays which I have seen, there is not anything that so perfectly meets the need as your plays. In the matter of adaptibility to amateur talent, in action, in humor (at once emphatic and fresh and clean) and in simple natural literary style your writings cannot be excelled."—Rev. W. H. Garth, St. Michael's Rectory, Naugatuck, Conn.

A CHRISTMAS PLAY FOR CHILDREN IN TWO ACTS
This play was written to meet a request of church workers for a Christmas entertainment of dramatic character to be given within one hour and with no change of scene. The author, therefore, has arranged Act I to be read aloud to an audience with no acting, which reading shall be followed by the rise of curtain and the presentation of the two scenes of Act II. The dramatic parts for the play, as thus arranged, are those only that are found in Act II, and are given below. All may be readily taken by children.
| Dame Goody (Hedwig) | |||

| Violet Alfred Bernice Kenneth | Children of Mrs. Collingwood | ||
| Pauline Louise Esther Olive Dorothy Laurence Ralph David | Friends of the Collingwood children | ||
Other children may be added, if desired, or the above number lessened. (See notes.)
