A comedy in 3 acts, by F. Tennison Jesse and H. Harwood. 4 males, 5
females. One easy interior scene. A charming comedy, constructed with
uncommon skill, and abounds with clever lines. Margaret Anglin’s big
success. Amateurs will find this comedy easy to produce and popular with
all audiences.
Price, 60 Cents.
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
A comedy in 3 acts. By James Montgomery. 5 males, 6 females. Costumes,
modern. Two interior scenes. Plays 2 and ½ hours.
Is it possible to tell the absolute truth—even for twenty-four hours?
It is—at least Bob Bennett, the hero of “Nothing But the Truth,”
accomplished the feat. The bet he made with his business partners,
and the trouble he got into—with his partners, his friends, and his
fiancée—this is the subject of William Collier’s tremendous comedy hit.
“Nothing But the Truth” can be whole-heartedly recommended as one of the
most sprightly, amusing and popular comedies that this country can boast.
Price, 60 Cents.
IN WALKED JIMMY.
A comedy in 4 acts, by Minnie Z. Jaffa. 10 males, 2 females (although any
number of males and females may be used as clerks, etc.). Two interior
scenes. Costumes, modern. Plays 2 and ½ hours. The thing into which Jimmy
walked was a broken-down shoe factory, when the clerks had all been
fired, and when the proprietor was in serious contemplation of suicide.
Jimmy, nothing else but plain Jimmy, would have been a mysterious
figure had it not been for his matter-of-fact manner, his smile and his
everlasting humanness. He put the shoe business on its feet, won the
heart of the girl clerk, saved her erring brother from jail, escaped that
place as a permanent boarding house himself, and foiled the villain.
Clean, wholesome comedy with just a touch of human nature, just a dash of
excitement and more than a little bit of true philosophy make “In Walked
Jimmy” one of the most delightful of plays. Jimmy is full of the religion
of life, the religion of happiness and the religion of helpfulness, and
he so permeates the atmosphere with his “religion” that everyone is
happy. The spirit of optimism, good cheer, and hearty laughter dominates
the play. There is not a dull moment in any of the four acts. We strongly
recommend it.
Price, 60 Cents.
MARTHA BY-THE-DAY.
An optimistic comedy in three acts, by Julie M. Lippmann, author of the
“Martha” stories. 5 males, 5 females. Three interior scenes. Costumes
modern. Plays 2 and ½ hours.
It is altogether a gentle thing, this play. It is full of quaint humor,
old-fashioned, homely sentiment, the kind that people who see the play
will recall and chuckle over to-morrow and the next day.
