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.

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.
