Excerpt from When the Curtain Rises
Harry. Just three months to-day since I entered this parlor and met for the first time my lovely Cora. Yesterday she promised to become my bride if her father, Mr. Diehl, does not object. But, then, he is so eccentric, and I fear his decision very much. He promised to meet me here in the parlor immediately after dinner. Ah, I hear his step!
(Enter Mr. Diehl, R. Harry places a chair for him.)
Mr. Diehl. No, never mind a chair, young man, I prefer standing. Well, let us come to the point at once. So, you want my daughter?
Harry (starting forward). How do you know? Has she-?
Mr. Diehl. No, no, she has not mentioned the matter. But do you think that because I wear spectacles I have no eyes behind them? Or, because my hair is now gray, do you think it never was black?
Harry (eagerly). Then, my dear Mr. Diehl, since you remember your own youth so well, I trust you will be kind to me and grant me your daughter's hand.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of light and simple dramas designed for performance in private homes. The author, mindful of the challenges faced by novice actors, has carefully crafted each play to require minimal props, costumes, and elaborate makeup. Published in 1890, this collection reflects the popular theatrical trends of the era, showcasing a blend of comedic and dramatic works. The plays explore themes of love, courtship, and family dynamics, often with a humorous edge. The author's attention to detail and realistic dialogue brings these characters and their struggles to life, offering a glimpse into the social conventions and anxieties of the Victorian era. The comedic elements, particularly evident in the play *The Man Who Went to Europe*, highlight the absurdities of social expectations and the lengths people go to in pursuit of love and acceptance. The plays offer a witty and insightful commentary on the human experience, reminding us that the pursuit of happiness often involves a delicate dance between convention and personal desires. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
