=HUMOROUS PLAYS.= By FRANCIS W. MOORE.

This Collection of Short Plays, Duologues, and Proverbs in Action is intended as an addition to the scanty assortment of pieces suitable for private representation.

Having been originally written for this purpose, they involve only a very limited number of characters, and no exceptional amount of dramatic experience. Each is comprised within a single act, and the requirements as to scenery, costumes, and stage appliances are of a simple kind. The scenes are all indoors.

All are available for performance, whether in public or private, without payment.

_The Plays in this volume may also be had separately, in paper covers, crown 8vo, at 6d each._

_SECOND EDITION._

Handsomely bound, cloth gilt, large post 8vo, 3s. 6d.

Blue cloth gilt, gilt edges, large crown 8vo, 5s.
