The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-11-21

RusselPs little book of announcements.
1t is only a catalogue, of course, but
its form is quite unusual. From the
carefully designed cover Of rough gray
paper to the dignified red and black
print, it is very satisfying. 1t contains
reproductions from drawings by Mich
olson Abbey, Remington, Gibson,
Kemble and other well-known illus
traitors. reduced from various new
publications issued from the Russell
press. Altogether, it shows that some
thing worthy Of serious consideration
is possible even in an advertising cat
alogue.

On picking up 1.-The God Yut-
20" one is inclined to quote Kipling-
"a rag, a bone''-but that is as far
as one gets, for the resemblance, in a
literal sense, ends here. A rag the
cover certainly is, and a sackcloth rag
at that, and it makes, by the way, a
very effective binding for volume in
tended for table decoration and not for
the shelves of a library. 'The God
Yutzo of 763 B. c." is a monstrous lit
tie carved ivory, and the writer, avow-
edly Lord Gilhooley, uses it as the
mouthpeice for AT aphorisms. The
great age of the god precludes youth
or sprightliness in his sayings, but the
absence of startling originality in the
books sayings will be overlooked, per-
haps, by those who think first of it's
outward form; the quaint, rough COW
ers and dull red decorative printing
on coarse MANILA paper are sufficient
to attract the man in search of Christ
mas gifts.

To any one who has attempted to
find plays suitable for young people
the meagerness of available material
is we'll known. Therefore a book of
simple little dramas Of the kind that
are not beyond the histrionic powers of
very little folk and boys and girls of
older years has place waiting it. The
cOllabOratOrs in these plays claim that
the most pleasurable entertainments
given by children have been those in
which the playwright has sacrificed his
own ambitions to the individual tai
ents of his performers and to their
natural liking for songs and dances
and tableauX and artistic groupings.
Plenty to do and little to say may be
considered. all in all, the principle on
which childfen's plays should be found
ed" THE MUSES. Up-to-Date" is
breezy little farce; its cast makes it
very suitable for girls school. Gin
derella" is a pretty treatment of the
favorite old story, and THE Modern
Cinderella" is a topsy-turVy farce with
all the characters and the plot re-
versed. The other plays included in
the volume are "TrCuble III the Gar
den" ''The Wooing Of Penelope" and
ga Lesson From Fairy Land"
