Clarence 0 017 000 772 “
A comedy in four acts by Booth Tarkington, author of “The Man From Home,” “Penrod,” “The Country Cousin,” etc. 5 males, 5 females. Two interior scenes. Costumes, modern. Plays 2y2 hours.
Clarence has no medals, no shoulders bars, no great accomplishment. One of the “five million,” he served where he was sent — though it was no further than Texas. As an entomologist he found — on this side of the ocean — no field for his specialty in the great war. So they set him to driving mules.
Now, reduced to civil life and seeking a job, he finds a position in the home of one, Wheeler, a wealthy Eng- elwood man with a family. And because he’d “been in the army” he becomes guide, philosopher and friend to the members of that same agitated and distracted family' group. Clarence’s position is an anomolous one. He mends the bathroom plumbing, he tunes the piano, he types — off stage — he play's the saxophone. And around him revolves such a g’roup of characters as only Booth Tarkington could offer. It is a real American comedy: and the audience ripples with appreciative and delighted laughter.
Those marvelous young people, Cora and Bobby Wheel¬ er. are portrait sketches warranted to appeal to every' one but the originals. Their truth will be lost on the “Flapper” and the “prep” school y'outh, but to their par¬ ents and guardians, to all, indeed, who have emerged from the serious, self-conscious, period of adolescence, they will be an enduring joy.
“Clarence” is a real delight. It is as American as “Huckleberry7 Finn” or pumpkin pie. It is as delight¬ ful as any7 native comedy which has tried to lure the laughter of this country' in the last ten seasons.

Three Live Ghosts
A comedy in three acts by7 Frederick Isham and Max Marcin. 6 males, 4 females (2 policemen). One interior scene stands throughout the three acts. Costumes, mo¬ dern. Play's 2% hours.
“Three Live Ghosts” is brim full of fun and humor and is sure to keep audiences in gales of laughter. The New York critics described it as the most ingenious and amusing comedy of the season and genuinely and heartily funny. It play'ed a full season in New York and then toured the big cities. A lively comedy of merit we can strongly recommend for amateur production.
