LITTLE PLAYS FROM AMERICAN HISTORY FOR YOUNG FOLKS
BY ALICE JOHNSTONE WALKER. $1.10 _net_.
HIDING THE REGICIDES, a number of brief and stirring episodes,
concerning the pursuit of Colonels Whalley and Goff by the officers of
Charles II at New Haven in old colony days.
MRS. MURRAY'S DINNER PARTY, in three acts, is a lively comedy about a
Patriot hostess and British Officers in Revolutionary Days.
SCENES FROM LINCOLN'S TIME; the martyred President does not himself
appear. They cover Lincoln's helping a little girl with her trunk,
women preparing lint for the wounded, a visit to the White House of an
important delegation from New York, and of the mother of a soldier boy
sentenced to death--and the coming of the army of liberation to the
darkies.
The big events are touched upon, the mounting of all these little plays
is simplicity itself, and they have stood the test of frequent school
performance.
