Hitherto there has been an altnost Mai izck of suitable pieces adapted to an evening's entertainment in Parlors by Amateurs. jpf course whole Operas, or even parts of Operas, require orchestral accompani-, ^ents and full choruses to give them effect, aud are therefore clearly unfit for (Amat'iur performance, while a succession of songs lacks the interest given by a ^lot and a contrast of characters. In this series (« list of which is given below) vr hava endeavm-ed to supply tJds want. The best Music of ])opular Composers is wed- ded to appropriate words, aud the whole dovetailed into plots that are effective ad mere petite plays, but are rendered douldy interesting by the appropriate and beau- tij'ul Music, specially arranged for them.
