New Entertainments
TAKING THE CENSUS IN BINGVILLE
An Entertainment in One Act
By Jessie A. Kelly
Fourteen males, eight females. Costumes, modern; scenery, unimportant. Plays an hour and a half. One of the always popular go-as-you-please entertainments; just a lot of laughs strung on a very slender wire of story. Full of eccentric character bits and chances for local hits. A sure success for the laughter-loving. Recommended for church societies or intimate communities.
Price, 25 cents
