    About this ebook

    Several events lead Elsie, the tenement orphan, to believe that Jimmy, the newsboy, will buy her a Christmas gift, and it seems it is up to Jimmy to do it. Christmas is an unknown quantity at the tenement, but everyone agrees that Elsie must not be disappointed and plan to have one anyway. Elsie's lost father walks in amid the fun, and the climax is general rejoicing. It's a joyful play with incredible characters Christmas at McCarthy's is a short Christmas play for young and older children. It mixes the mildest pathos and the most sparkling humor to a notable degree. Several nationalities are represented in the drama, and there is an option to introduce specialties if desired. It requires a small cast and simple costumes and can be performed at gatherings by children. It is a great way to build the confidence of the little actors.
