ART CLUBS ARE TRUMPS
A Play in One Act
By Mary Moncure Parker
Twelve females. Costumes of 1890 with one exception; scene, a single easy interior. Plays thirty minutes. Describes the trials of an ambitious woman who desired to form a club in the early days of club life for women about thirty years ago, before the days of telephones and automobiles. A capital play for ladies’ clubs or for older women in general. The costumes are quaint and the picture of life in the year of the Chicago World’s Fair offers an amusing contrast to the present. Recommended.
