_The Story of Snow White_ is one of the romantic fairy tales which has been re-written and staged as a play for children, and now may be procured in book form. It was produced by Winthrop Ames at the Little Theatre in New York City. The dramatization by Jessie Braham White followed closely the original tale. The entire music was composed by Edmond Rickett, who wrote melodies for a number of London Christmas pantomimes. The scenery, by Maxfield Parrish, was composed of six stage pictures, simple, harmonious, and beautiful, with tense blue skies, a dim suggestion of the forest, and the quaint architecture of the House of the Seven Dwarfs. Pictures in old nursery books were the models for the scenes. Because of the simplicity of the plot and the few characters, _Snow White_ could be played very simply in four scenes, by the children of the second and third grades for the kindergarten and first grade. _Snow White_ _Scene i_. A Festival on the occasion of Snow White's sixteenth birthday. _Scene ii_. In the Forest. _Scene iii_. A Room in the House of the Seven Dwarfs. _Scene iv_. The Reception to Snow White as Queen, on the grounds near the young King's Palace. The beautiful character of Snow White; the glimpse of Dwarf life--the kindly little men with their unique tasks and their novel way of living; the beauty and cheer of Snow White which her housekeeping brought into their home; their devotion to her; the adventure in the wood; the faithful Huntsman; the magic mirror; the wicked Queen; and the Prince seeking the Princess--all contribute to the charm of the tale. The songs written for the play may be learned by the children, who will love to work them into their simple play: _Snow White, as fair as a lily, as sweet as a rose_; the song of the forest fairies, _Welcome, Snow White_; and their second song which they sing as they troop about Snow White lying asleep on the Dwarf's bed, _Here you'll find a happy home, softly sleep!_ or the song of Snow White to the Dwarfs, _I can brew, I can bake_. _The Little Lamb and the Little Fish_ Once upon a time there lived a sister and a brother who loved each other very much. They were named Gretchen and Peterkin. One day their father who was King of the country, left them and brought home with him a new Queen who was not kind to the children. She banished them from the castle and told the King bad tales about them. So they made friends with the Cook and ate in the kitchen. Peterkin would bring water and Gretchen could carry plates and cups and saucers. One beautiful spring day when all the children were out-of-doors playing games, Gretchen and Peterkin went to play with them, by the pond, on the meadow, beyond the castle wall. Around this pond the children would run, joining hands and singing:--
