AROUND THE CORNER, comedy In 3 acts, by Martin Flavin. This timely
work, described as an "American play for the American people," has
just been released. It was produced in December, 1936, on Broadway
by Lodewick Vroom. Mr. Flavin's latest produced play is a dramatic
picture of an average middle-class American family at grips with
the recent depression. The author has adopted the viewpoint that
even the dark years have their aspects of comedy, and the play is a
rare mixture of character, humor and serious preachment. The play
requires only one interior setting and calls for a cast of 7 men
and 3 women. (Production fee quoted upon request.) Paper bound
books, including prefaces by the author and Clayton Hamilton, 75
cents.
SEEN BUT NOT HEARD, melodrama in 2 acts, by Marie Baumer and Martin
Berkeley. This new play was produced by D. A. Doran with
International Productions, Inc., on Broadway in the fall of 1936,
featuring Frankie Thomas. An entirely new twist is here given to
the murder mystery, in that the authors have placed the burden of
discovery upon three children whose intelligence and innocence are
brought to bear on an adult problem. A most ingenious mystery play
worked out, however, in terms of modern theatrical realism. The
play has one interior setting and calls for 15 characters, of whom
8 are adult men and 2 young boys, and 4 adult women and one young
girl. (Production fee quoted upon request.) Paper bound books, 75
cents.
