The Blunders of a Bashful Man
Victor, Metta Victoria Fuller
Humorous stories; Young men -- Fiction
founded upon the successful and much discussed play of the same name
by
FERENC MOLNAR,
as produced by
HENRY W. SAVAGE.
The title is startling. The story is not so startling as the title
would indicate. It is a strongly moral one, showing in a vivid,
realistic manner the result of evil thinking. The Devil in this story
is evil thinking materialized.
The scene centers in Vienna, and deals with the early love of a poor
artist and a poorer maiden. As the years go by the artist achieves
distinction, and the maiden becomes the wife of a millionaire
merchant--with very little romance in his composition, but thoroughly
devoted to his young and beautiful bride.
Seven years later the artist (who has been received as a valued friend
of the family) is commissioned to paint the wife's portrait--and the
old love re-asserts itself. For a while the issue is problematical;
but stability of character conquers, and the ending is quite as the
heart would wish.
The book also contains an article by the noted author, Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, pointing out the strong moral to be deduced.
It contains 190 pages, printed in large, clear type on best quality of
book paper, with eight half-tone illustrations from the play. Price,
handsomely bound in cloth, 50 cents, net, postage 10 cents additional;
bound in paper covers, 25 cents, postpaid.
For sale by booksellers and newsdealers everywhere, or sent by mail
upon receipt of price.

THE NEW MAYOR
A Novel
Founded upon GEORGE BROADHURST'S play
The Man of the Hour
Handsomely bound in cloth and stamped in colors, containing 250 pages
with twelve illustrations from the play
Price 50 cents, net, postage 10 cents additional
It has been issued under the title of THE NEW MAYOR, in order not to
conflict with a book published under the title, The Man of the Hour.
Thousands of people have not had the opportunity of seeing the play,
and to them, as well as to those who have seen it, we desire to
announce that we are the authorized publishers of the Story of George
Broadhurst's Play in book form. There is already an enormous demand
for this book, owing to the fact that the play is meeting with such a
tremendous success, having been presented in New York for over six
hundred consecutive performances, with four companies on tour
throughout the United States.
The play has received the highest praise and commendation from critics
and the press, a few of which we give herewith:
"THE FINEST PLAY I EVER SAW."--Ex-President Roosevelt.
"The best in years."--_N. Y. Telegram._
"A perfect success."--_N. Y. Sun._
"A triumph."--_N. Y. American._
"Best play yet."--_N. Y. Commercial._
"A sensation."--_N. Y. Herald._
"An apt appeal."--_N. Y Globe._
"A straight hit."--_N. Y. World._
"A play worth while."--_N. Y. News._
"Means something."--_N. Y. Tribune._
"An object lesson."--_N. Y. Post._
