Preface

experienced in providing pieces suitable for very young lads and misses. The selections adapted to actors “ on the other side of eight years old,” are found on the first pages after the Introduction.

Many hints and suggestions, indispensable for young performers, and perhaps useful for inexperienced managers, will be found in the Introduction, which should be carefully read by all who use the book. Plain and full directions relating to costumes, properties, and stage business, are given, in connection with particular dialogues and dramas.

The editor would return thanks to Miss L. M. Alcott, for the privilege of dramatizing scenes from Little Women; and to Prof. Carl Knortz for his acceptable contribution, the melodramatic version of Schneewittchen.

Our Illustrations , from the graceful pencil of Mr. H. F. Famey, are not only useful in suggesting proper costumes and attitudes to young actors, but also very spirited, and pleasing as artistic designs. W. H. V.
