Pollyanna
The glad play, by Catherine Chisholm Cushing, after the novel by Eleanor
H. Porter. 5 males, 6 females. 2 interiors. Costumes, modern. Plays
2-1/4 hours. An orphan girl is thrust into the home of a maiden aunt. In
spite of the trials that beset her, she manages to find something to be
glad about, and brings light into sunless lives. Finally Pollyanna
straightens out the love affairs of her elders, and finds happiness for
herself in Jimmy. "Pollyanna" gives a better appreciation of people and
the world. It reflects the humor and humanity that gave the story such
wonderful popularity among young and old.
Produced in New York, and for two seasons on tour. Royalty, $25.00.
Price, 75 cents.
Martha By-the-Day
An optimistic comedy in 3 acts, by Julie M. Lippmann, author of the
"Martha" stories. 5 males. 5 females. 3 interiors. Costumes, modern.
Plays 2-1/2 hours.
Full of quaint humor, old-fashioned, homely sentiment, the kind that
people who see the play will recall and chuckle over tomorrow and the
next day.
Miss Lippmann has herself adapted her successful book for the stage and
has selected from her novel the most telling incidents, infectious
comedy and homely sentiment for the play, and the result is thoroughly
delightful. Royalty, $25. Price, 60 cents.
Seventeen
A comedy of youth, in 4 acts, by Booth Tarkington. 8 males, 6 females. 1
exterior. 2 interiors. Costumes, modern. Plays 2-1/2 hours.
It is the tragedy of William Sylvanus Baxter that he has ceased to be
sixteen and is not yet eighteen. Seventeen is not an age, it is a
disease.
In his heart William knows all the tortures and delights of love. But he
is still sent by his mother on errands of the most humiliating sort and
depends on his father for every nickel, the use of which he must justify
before he gets it.
"Silly" Bill fell in love with Lola, the "Baby-Talk Lady," a vapid
little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself (and of her) he
steals his father's evening clothes. When his wooings become a nuisance
to the neighborhood, his mother steals them back, and has them let out
to fit the middle-aged form of her husband, thereby keeping William at
home.
But when it comes to the "Baby-Talk Lady's" good-bye dance, not to be
present was unendurable. Now William again gets the dress suit, and how
he wears it at the party, and Genesis discloses the fact that the proud
garment is in reality his father's makes up the story of the play.
"Seventeen" is a work of exquisite human sympathy and delicious humor.
Royalty, $25.00. Price. 75 cents.
