raph and record.) 20. The organ. Gifts to be put on the altar. 21. A chest full of gold coins for the rich man. (This chest should be about six by twelve inches, made of some polished wood. If difficult to find, substitute a money-bag of stout canvas for it.) 22. Gold coin for the rich man. These coins may be made of cardboard with gold paper pasted over them. 23. A gilded jewel box for the courtier (this can be made from a cardboard box covered with gold paper.) 24. Jewels to fill the gilded box. The smaller things that come for Christmas tree decorations make very acceptable stage jewels. 25. A great book bound in vellum for the sage to give. A heavy book can be covered with wrapping paper the color of vellum. 26. A pearl necklace. 27. A great sheaf of fresh lilies. These can be made at home of tissue paper or very beautiful ones can be bought from the Dennison Manufacturing Company. 28. A golden crown.

BIG-HEARTED HERBERT Farce-comedy. 3 acts. By Sophie Kerr & Anna Steese Richardson. 7 males, 6 females. Interior. Modern costumes. Herbert Kalness, the leading character, is a selfmade man. His success and his belief in himself have unwittingly turned him into a domestic autocrat. Moreover he prides himself on being a plain man and imagines that he lives plainly, though his devoted and charming wife has modernized and decorated their home quite successfully. The day arrives when the daughter of the house becomes engaged, and at a dinner to celebrate the event, Herbert, who has been upset and worried all day about business, has a great big tantrum which even his wife can't excuse. So, the next day, when he proposes to bring his best customer and wife home to dinner--assuring them that he is a plain man--his wife turns the house plain to the nth degree and serves them a plain dinner in the plainest of ways. In a final riotous scene Herbert realizes that he is not so plain, and that his life will be happier if he is more of a father and less of a tyrant. (Royalty, $25.00.) Price, 75 cents.
