HAMILTON
HAMILTON
A Play in Four Acts
By Mary P. Hamlin and George Arliss
Eleven males, five females. Costumes of the period; scenery, three interiors. Plays a full evening. Royalty for amateur performance where an admission is charged, $25.00 for each performance. Special royalty of $10.00 for performance by schools. This play, well known through the performances of Mr. George Arliss still continuing in the principal theatres, presents the builders of the foundations of the American Republic as real people, and its story adroitly illustrates not merely the various ability of its leading figure, Alexander Hamilton, but the unconquerable courage and determination that were his dominating characteristics. The vividness with which it vitalizes the history of its period and the power with which it emphasizes Hamilton’s most admirable and desirable quality, make it most suitable for school use, for which special terms have been arranged, as above. Strongly recommended.

THE MINUTE MAN
A Patriotic Sketch for Girls of the High School Age in a Prologue and Three Episodes
By Nellie S. Messer
Thirteen girls. Costumes, modern, Colonial and of the Civil War period. Scenery, three interiors. Plays an hour and a half. Betty and Eleanor, typically thoughtless girls of the present day, run across the diaries of Bess’s mother and grandmother, which relate the experiences of girls of their age and kind at previous periods of their country’s history, and learn a vivid lesson in patriotism. The scenes of the past are shown in dramatic episodes visualizing the matter of the diaries that they read. A very clever arrangement of a very stimulating subject, strongly recommended for all occasions where the promotion of patriotism is desired. A timely lesson strongly enforced.
