TWO PLAYS FOR BOYS

By SEYMOUR S. TIBBALS.————

Mr. Tibbals has been unusually successful in furnishing boys’ plays that introduce characters true to life. While the plays are strong and forceful in the lessons they teach, clean comedy predominates and the boys like them.

“The Millionaire Janitor”

A comedy in two acts. Here is a rollicking play for eight or more boys with plenty of action. Just the thing for a Boys’ Class or Junior Y. M. C. A. Easily staged and costumed. Opportunity for introduction of musical numbers and recitations. By introducing such features the play may be used for an entire evening’s entertainment.

Price 25 Cents————

“Up Caesar’s Creek”

A splendid play for any number of boys. The characters are real boys and the play deals with their experiences while camping up Caesar’s Creek the performance closing with a minstrel show in camp. Costumes and scenery are not elaborate and the play may be produced on any stage.

Price 25 Cents

These comedies are protected by copyright, but permission for amateur production is granted with the purchase of the book.
