About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Over Here: A Drama of American Patriotism, in Three Acts J. B. Wheedon. A small-town business man of about thirty-five. He is dogmatic and inclined to argue. His big patriotic scene with Eckert in the first act must be thoroughly rehearsed and especial attention given to the proper emphasis. In the original cast of the play this character was played by a small man with light hair, mustache and eye-glasses. Carelessly dressed. This role must be played in deadly earnest; any attempts at comedy will ruin the effect. Comrade Ferguson. A Civil War veteran aged about eighty. Veteran's uniform, if possible, but this is t necessary. Could be played either as a veteran of the North or a veteran of the South. Wears a badge. White wig and beard. Large heavy cane. Slightly palsied. This is a character part of great importance and must be thoroughly rehearsed in impersonating an aged man. Pay careful attention to the emotional scenes in Acts I and II. The drum scene never fails to bring applause, if properly played. Wear shoes suitable to the character. Neat costume. Judge Gary. Prosperous city lawyer. Rather short in speech, but thoroughly human at all times. Aged about fifty-five. Iron gray hair. This role should be played by a middle-aged attorney, if possible. Stylishly dressed. The recruiting address at the end of Act I should be carefully rehearsed and the part must be learned letter perfect. Care must be taken in his entrance in Act III t to allow the audience to recognize his personality. This is necessary to preserve the air of mystery and to key the audience to the climax of the play. Miss Em Finch. An old maid housekeeper, aged about forty-four. A strong emotional role and in stock productions always played by the leading woman of the company. Naturally she is timid and kind, but when spurred on by patriotism she shows the qualities of a born leaden The author has ted her changes of tone, etc., in the text and the role must be carefully studied. This role was originally played by Helen O'Neill who costumed it in a simple black dress, old-fashioned and rather short, rough looking shoes, a small old gray shawl, cheap black hat, gray hair. She wore an apron in the last act. When the play is produced by amateurs it is desirable to have this role played by a middle-aged woman, if possible. Miss Lornie Davis. The comedienne of the play. Aged about forty. Costumes, accessories and make-up should indicate giddy girlhood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
