THE LITTLE CO-ED

A Vaudeville Sketch in One Act

_By Hamilton Coleman and Harry Osborne_

One male, who plays three parts, and one female. Costumes modern; scenery an easy interior. Plays twenty-five minutes. A bright and lively little sketch originally produced in vaudeville by Yuill and Boyd. A strong piece for a lady, full of points and action. Can be strongly recommended.

_Price, 15 cents_

THE SAME MAN

A Comedy Sketch in One Act

_By Lida L. Coghlan_

Two female characters. Costumes modern; scenery unimportant. Plays twenty minutes. A very clever and effective sketch for two young girls. Can be done entirely without stage or scenery or other preparation than mere memorizing and rehearsal. Played rapidly it is a sure success. A good bit for an exhibition programme.

THE REBELLION OF MRS. BARCLAY

A Comedy of Domestic Life

In Two Acts

_By May E. Countryman_

Three male, six female characters. Costumes modern; scenery, easy interiors. Plays one hour and three quarters. A clever and amusing comedy with a very popular cast; all the parts evenly good. There are many Mr. Barclays making their homes more or less uncomfortable all over this country, and Mrs. Barclay’s method of curing her particular one will be sympathetically received. Good Irish comedy parts, male and female. Strongly recommended.

PA’S NEW HOUSEKEEPER

A Farce in One Act

_By Charles S. Bird_

Three male, two female characters. Modern costumes; scenery, a simple interior or none at all. Plays forty minutes. A roaring farce of the “Charley’s Aunt” order, admirably suited for high-school performance. Jack Brown, visiting his chum, is tempted by his success in college theatricals to make up in the character of the new housekeeper, an attractive widow, who is expected but does not arrive. He takes in everybody and mixes things up generally. All the parts are first rate and the piece full of laughs and action. Strongly recommended.
