BLIGHTED BUDS. A FARCE IN ONE ACT. By JULIA DE W. ADDISON, Author of "A FALSE NOTE," "UNDER A SPELL," ETC. Four male and four female characters. Costumes, modern; scene, a garden. An excellent farce of the more refined type, full of fun, but never broad or boisterous in its humor. John Smith, an enterprising drummer, Prof. Palman, a timid scientist, Pat and Katy, Irish servants, and Drusilla Durham, a sentimental spinster, are all capital parts. Strongly recommended. The Grand Baby Show. AN ENTERTAINMENT FOR LITTLE FOLKS. WRITTEN AND ORIGINALLY PRODUCED BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY, For one boy and from ten to twenty-five little girls. This is a platform entertainment, no scenery being necessary, and the costumes are very easily arranged. The idea and action of the piece are sufficiently indicated by its title. It was highly successful in its original performance by the Sisters of Mercy, Meriden, Conn., and is recommended on this ground as well as for the novelty of the idea. It is presented partly in dialogue, but largely in choruses, and the original music, complete, accompanies the songs. A very pretty march is an effective incident of the piece. An excellent children's entertainment. Price 15 cents. The New Woman. A FARCICAL SKETCH. With One Act, One Scene and One Purpose. By GEORGE RUGG, One male and three female characters. Costumes, modern; scenery, very simple. This is a bright and up-to-date little skit upon a very old subject that never ceases to be entertaining. "The New Woman" is put through a few modern paces with amusing results. Plays only fifteen minutes. QUITS. A COMEDY IN ONE ACT. By ABBIE FARWELL BROWN. Two male and three female characters. Costumes, modern; scene, an easy interior. This is a "college " play, the scene being laid at White Elms Seminary, and the story a brisk account of what might easily have happened there between a couple of larky Harvard seniors and their sweethearts, while trying to outwit the stern old Griffin of the establishment. Full of movement, vivacity alinterest. Perfectly easy to play and full of entertainment. Adapted to flor or hall. Plays forty-five minutes. CAPTAIN SWELL. A NEGRO FARCE IN TWO SCENES. By F. E. HILAND. Author of "A TOWN MEETING," "ROONEY'S RESTAURANT," ETC. Five male and two female characters. Scenes, a street and an interior. Costumes, eccentric. A very funny piece with lots of character and incident, illustrating a phase of the struggle between "capital and labor." ́Sambo, Swell's servant, is a capital low-comedy part; Dusty and Seedy, two "bums," are good bits, and Swell, his wife, daughter and her dude lover, a good comedy group. Plays fifteen minutes. CARELESS CUPID. A NEGRO FARCE IN ONE ACT. By F. E. HILAND. Author of "THE OLD COUNTRY STORE," "THE LADY LAWYER," ETC. Three male and two female characters. Scene, a plain interior; costumes, eccentric. This is an amusing piece, full of "business" and comic incident.
