HOW TO PRODUCE CHILDREN'S PLAYS
The author is a recognized authority on the production of plays and
pageants in the public schools, and combines enthusiastic sympathy with
sound, practical instructions. She tells both how to inspire and care
for the young actor, how to make costumes, properties, scenery, where
to find designs for them, what music to use, etc., etc. She prefaces it
all with an interesting historical sketch of the plays-for-children
movement, includes elaborate detailed analyses of performances of
Browning's _Pied Piper_ and Rosetti's _Pageant of the Months_, and
concludes with numerous valuable analytical lists of plays for various
grades and occasions. $1.25 net.
