About This Book

A short Christmas play staged in a toy shop after closing follows a proprietor who locks up and a collection of toys that come to life to sing, dance, drill, and display skits. Detailed stage directions and costume notes outline soldiers, books, blocks, spinning tops, jumping jacks, dolls, a teddy bear, candy sticks and dominoes, each performing songs, pantomime drills, and choreography suited to small children. The text supplies music cues, verses, and practical guidance for teachers mounting a festive school performance.

Song Specialties for Your Entertainments

Teachers are discovering that no matter how much novelty there is in their entertainment, how well it is arranged, how thoroughly drilled, if they want to hold the active interest of the audience they must use the best of songs. The songs must be real novelties. The words must be interesting as well as decidedly clever. The music must be catchy and abounding in rich melody. With these things in mind we have prepared this list of superior song novelties for our patrons. All are in regular sheet music form.
