New Plays Published by
Dramatists Play Service INC.
AROUND THE CORNER, comedy In 3 acts, by Martin Flavin. This timely work, described as an American play for the American people,
has just been released. It was produced in December, 1936, on Broadway by Lodewick Vroom. Mr. Flavin's latest produced play is a dramatic picture of an average middle-class American family at grips with the recent depression. The author has adopted the viewpoint that even the dark years have their aspects of comedy, and the play is a rare mixture of character, humor and serious preachment. The play requires only one interior setting and calls for a cast of 7 men and 3 women. (Production fee quoted upon request.) Paper bound books, including prefaces by the author and Clayton Hamilton, 75 cents.
SEEN BUT NOT HEARD, melodrama in 2 acts, by Marie Baumer and Martin Berkeley. This new play was produced by D. A. Doran with International Productions, Inc., on Broadway in the fall of 1936, featuring Frankie Thomas. An entirely new twist is here given to the murder mystery, in that the authors have placed the burden of discovery upon three children whose intelligence and innocence are brought to bear on an adult problem. A most ingenious mystery play worked out, however, in terms of modern theatrical realism. The play has one interior setting and calls for 15 characters, of whom 8 are adult men and 2 young boys, and 4 adult women and one young girl. (Production fee quoted upon request.) Paper bound books, 75 cents.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
(in the order in which they speak)
ACT I
SCENE 1. A basement apartment on a Saturday afternoon about one o'clock, Fall, 1935.
SCENE 2. Stanley Prescott's office, later the same day.
ACT II
The same as ACT I, SCENE 1. About 6 P. M., Spring, 1936.
ACT III
The same. About 10 P. M.
This play can be produced without using Scene 2, Act I at all, and has been so produced by both Federal Theatres and nonprofessionals. This reduces the settings required to one. In case this scene is not played, then of course the characters Lucille Brown and Stanley Prescott are also omitted. The omission of this scene requires no alteration of the lines or action of any other part of the play.
