PT. K. It's my _hatter's_ name--not mine! SEL. (to MRS. SELWYN). There, my dear, _now_ I hope that you are satisfied? MRS. S. Partly! But there still seem one or two things not quite clear. How was it that _you_ said---- SEL. (appealing to all). Now she's mixing it again! _You_ explain, my friends! (Group C., all speak at once to MRS. SELWYN.) FRED. } I fell in love with Lottie---- LOTTIE. } We were married on the sly, so---- CAPT. K. } Explain, is it? Listen a while, Madam---- MRS. S. Stop! I understand! SEL. Bella understands, (coming C.) so that's all right. (Aside.) It's more than I do. (Aloud.) The question is (to audience) do _you_ understand? Of course you do, you understand everything, especially that all we have done to-night has been to amuse without offending, in the hope of being rewarded with the generous coinage of your approval paid (indicating applause) by note of hand. CURTAIN. FEMALE CHARACTERS PEREGRINATIONS OF POLLY Comedietta in One Act. Three Females By Helen P. Kane One plain Interior scene. Polly and Margaret, bachelor maids, being invited to attend a musicale, determine to exchange escorts. The result may not have been such as was intended, but certainly was one to have been expected. The dialogue throughout is brilliant and snappy, the action quick, thus ensuring a success for this bright sketch. Plays forty-five minutes. PRICE 25 CENTS THE RAINBOW KIMONA Comedy in Two Acts. Nine Females By Eleanor Maud Crane One interior scene. The Rainbow Kimona is a club composed of seven of the Senior Class, each member wearing a kimona representing one of the colors of the rainbow. In a small apartment an entertainment is arranged in which each girl assumes a leading character in one of Shakespeare's plays, burlesqued in outrageously comical style. The whole thing is a medley of the most amusing kind. Plays one and a half hours. PRICE 35 CENTS OUTWITTED Society Sketch in One Act. Three Females One interior scene. Two of the girls twit each other about the attentions of a handsome young army officer at a ball the night previous, each covertly aiming to outwit the other. It transpires later that the officer has had a little tiff with another girl to whom he was engaged, and his attentions were merely side-play. For cutting but polite sarcasm this sketch is rarely equalled. Plays twenty minutes. PRICE 15 CENTS THE FUT
