Pages : 126
Book Description
Excerpt from Parlor Amusements The dramatic element exists, in a greater or less degree, in every mind; for the little child begins to imagine or personate some character at a very early age. The doll is invested with histrionic power, and plays many different roles as time goes on; and the love of acting lasts after old age has dulled many other enjoyments. No pleasanter manner of whiling away a long evening can be found than by a simple entertainment in which old and young unite. The chief objection to such performances has been the trouble which attends their preparation. This little book is intended to obviate this difficulty, as the scenes are so arranged that the most of them can be performed in any parlor with simple properties and costumes, and most of them without study or practice. Every one of them, however, has been tried before large audiences in hundreds of cities, and they are now simplified and arranged for performance by old and young. In the opening chapter, proof of the long experience of the manager is given; and the last ones are devoted to games of thought, in which new games, and old ones in a new dress, are presented in the hope that much benefit to the thinking powers may be gained, as well as amusement.

Book Description
Excerpt from Popular Amusements A strolling company offer to educate our youth; and to show the community the road of morality, which, probably they have not seen themselves for twenty years. We cannot help laughing at a generosity so much above one's means: and when they proceed to hew and hack each other with rusty iron, to teach our boys valor; and dress up practical mountebanks, to teach theoretical virtue; if we laugh somewhat more, they turn upon us testily: Do you mind your own ousiness, and leave us with ours. We do not interfere with your pretzel: ing, do you let alone our acting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
