Bertha, The Bartender's Beautiful Baby

Synopsis:
his is a delicious bit of fooling that ridicules the old-time blood-and-thunder meloDramas of the long ago. Trafalgar Tremayne, his dear wife, Tessie, and their little "baby?" girl (aged ten) are a happy family when they have the Sweet Tooth Candy Kitchen in the village of Polecat Center. But Tremayne becomes ambitious and when he gets the opportunity to buy the run-down aroma Inn at a sacrifice, he deserts the sweetmeat Emporium for "headier" refreshment. Now, wife Tessie is much opposed to this move, fearing temptation for her noble spouse, and the wrong environment for their precious babe. a shooting by the villainous gambler, cheat and swindler, Rodney Remington, which almost "ventilates" little Bertha, makes Trafalgar decide to give up the terrible aroma and return to the gum drops and jelly beans. This little travesty is filled to the brim with side-splitting (and wholesome) comedy. It is ideal for all groups from high schools to little theatres.

Synopsis:
Here is a charming play that should be in great demand for women's colleges, clubs, and any organization in which the fair sex is the dominating force. each of the nine female characters portrayed has individual and colorful characteristics. One gets an insight into their hopes, frustrations, generosities, gossip and amusing little idiosyncrasies. there is an unusual twist at the finish that will bring howls of laughter.

Final Performance, Or, The Curtain Falls

Synopsis:
Depicts a little-known and highly Dramatic incident in the life of edwin Booth. the scene is the cellar of Booth's theatre in the winter of 1873. With great difficulty and expense, Mr. Booth has obtained possession of an old trunk containing many of the costumes and other paraphernalia, which had belonged to his infamous brother. Late at night, with the help of the janitor and the stage manager, he opens the trunk and as each costume is extracted, it recalls a famous Shakespearean role in which the unworthy member of the Booth clan had appeared. With great Dramatic intensity edwin recites the better known passages from these plays, and then orders the two men to take the costumes to the furnace room (which is off-stage) and burn them, so that they cannot be exhibited as mementos of a dastardly deed. One sees the reflection of the flames as the costumes are consumed. a thrilling one-act play with magnificent climax. especially recommended for contest purposes
