Red Letter Day Plays

Excerpt from Red Letter Day PlaysIn fact, too many plays for boys and girls are like the famous charades of the Peterkin family, when the actors spent so much time in selling tickets, collecting the costumes and the bandboxes which might be needed, building a stage, hanging a curtain, erecting scenery and borrowing chairs, that not until the audience was seated did they find time to decide upon the words they were to act. In some communi ties mothers have come to dread the closing of school, or the Christmas and May festivals, because each one means preparing elaborate costumes and helping to make complicated stage sets.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
