! THE TURN OF 73 ORI WRECKED IN PORTI- " _^K There is no doubt but Mr. Wilkins is at this time the moi?t popular writer> of plays for Amateur Dramatic Companies in the United States, if not in the^ world. He is the author of Eook Allen the Orphan, Three Glasses a Day,^ The Rewaid of Crime, Mother's Fool, The Coming Man, etc., all of whichgf have been produced by nearly all amateur companies in the United States'jd and Canada. We take much pleasure in presenting now his latest and best^ drains as above, knowing that it will invariably suit all who purchase it.p- The characters embrace an old man, 1st. and 2d leaaina: men, villain, two* ruffians, and 'nigger' who is very funny. Those who have produced 'Out"^ in the Streets' will find 'Pepper' in this play, fully as funny as 'Pete' in.= that. Female characters are a fault-finding old woman, leading, juvenile, and a splendid comedy. The plot is simple, and yet very effective. The:3 serious portions are balanced by the comedy ones, indeed it is the drama2 Amateurs want. See synopsis below. Price 15c each. Send one cent post-H age stamps if possible, or 29 and 33. A. D.
