THE TRIPLE WEDDING.

A DRAMA, IN THREE ACTS, BY CHARLES BARNARD.

Four male, four female characters--Leading juvenile man, comic old man, first and second comedians; leading juvenile lady, two walking ladies and servant. Plain room scene; modern costumes.

The plot is novel and ingenious, the situations well worked out, and the interest continuous.

SECOND SIGHT; OR, YOUR FORTUNE FOR A DOLLAR.

A FARCICAL COMEDY, IN ONE ACT, BY BERNARD HERBERT.

Four male and one female characters--Light comedian, low comedian, Irishman, Mexican nobleman and juvenile lady. Scene: A Clairvoyant's Parlor in New York. Time of playing, one hour.

The frantic efforts of Mr. Birdwhistle, a timorous music teacher, to escape the fury of Don Fiasco de Caramba, an untamed Mexican; the dismal predicaments of Dionysius O. Rourk? and the clairvoyant scenes will keep the audience in a continuous ripple. Companies in search of a serious piece should NOT select this play.
