Book Description
This 1916 drama is a new Christmas play by Elizabeth F. Guptill that is full of pure, wholesome joy from starting to end. It presents the trials of the teacher of an old-fashioned "deestric school" in running the last rehearsal for Christmas Entertainment. Some pupils are in "custom," as big Jake puts it, and "Sandy Claus" is there. The children go through their parts with enthusiasm and more or less success. The short play is considered easy to produce and perform with simple costumes and no fancy supplies. It has proved to be a pleasant drama for both children and adults. The cast includes the teacher, Miss Peppergrass, Aunt Hepsey, a queer character from the district, and fifteen pupils.
