THE MINUTE MAN

A Patriotic Sketch for Girls of the High School Age in a
Prologue and Three Episodes

_By Nellie S. Messer_

Thirteen girls. Costumes, modern, Colonial and of the Civil War period. Scenery, three interiors. Plays an hour and a half. Betty and Eleanor, typically thoughtless girls of the present day, run across the diaries of Bess’s mother and grandmother, which relate the experiences of girls of their age and kind at previous periods of their country’s history, and learn a vivid lesson in patriotism. The scenes of the past are shown in dramatic episodes visualizing the matter of the diaries that they read. A very clever arrangement of a very stimulating subject, strongly recommended for all occasions where the promotion of patriotism is desired. A timely lesson strongly enforced. _Price, 25 cents_

Transcriber’s Notes

Changed =landside= to =landslide= in “I had been struck by a
landslide”.

Changed =Beech= to =Beach= in “Palm Beach, Fla.”.

Changed =air ship= to =air-ship= in “Dr. Treadwell’s air-ship” for
consistency.

The word =land= appears to be used as a euphemism for =lawd= or
=lord=. This has not been changed.

Minor punctuation changes have been made for consistency.
