HUMOROUSPLAYS. FRANCIS W. MOORE.

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.
