M. PAINE - - - - -A Strike in Santa Land - - - STAGE represents a room in SANTA’S house. Packages - well tied up are piled in the back of the stage. SANTA - appears ready to start on his annual journey. - -SANTA: My, I’m tired. I’m glad Christmas comes but once a year or I -never could stand the excitement. - -MRS. SANTA [_entering_]: SANTA, it’s almost time to start. - -SANTA: Are the reindeer ready and is everything packed? - -MRS. SANTA: Yes, I think so. - -SANTA: I’ve tried trains and autos and airships but none of them suit -me like my faithful old reindeer. I don’t have to steer them up the -chimneys. They know just where to go. - -BROWNIE [_entering_]: Well, SANTA, everything is ready for your trip -but I have some unpleasant news for you. - -SANTA: Unpleasant news—that’s strange. Here in Santa-land we never hear -unpleasant things for they never happen. What is it JACK-OF ALL-TRADES? - -BROWNIE: Some of the very nicest toys we have made this whole year -refuse to be packed. They say they will not leave Santa-land and go to -earth. - -SANTA: Well! Well! Well! What do you think of that, Mother? - -MRS. SANTA: SANTA, be firm. You’re entirely too easy with them. They’ll -all be wanting to stay next year if you don’t make these toys go. - -SANTA: Of course, there are toys enough without these. - -BROWNIE: You always find some extra children you didn’t know about. - -MRS. SANTA: Certainly you do, BROWNIE, send the naughty toys in one at -a time and we will hear what they have to say. Now, SANTA, be firm. You -are so kind hearted if a doll cries you’ll let her have her way. - -SANTA: Now, MOTHER, you’re as bad as I am. - - _BROWNIE goes out and two tin soldiers enter, walking - stiffly and moving exactly together. They salute as - they come to a standstill._ - -SANTA: What’s this I hear? Why aren’t you packed? - -FIRST SOLDIER: I don’t want to be given to any child. Suppose I should -not be properly treated. A careless boy might not treat me according to -my rank. I am a general—suppose a private soldier was placed in front -of me. Suppose he was given the best place in our box. I never could -stand that. What a fate for a General. - -SECOND SOLDIER: SANTA CLAUS, I am a private soldier and I am proud -of it. The Brownie who made me did a fine job. Just see how well my -uniform fits. I’m just as proud as the General. I will not associate -with soldiers I have to salute all the time and wait on. If I got put -in the box with a General I wouldn’t like it any more than he would. -Children are very careless. Something unpleasant might easily happen. I -think it best for me to stay right here. The Brownies can use me as a -pattern next Christmas. - -SANTA: This is very strange. I never dreamed that you toys didn’t get -on perfectly well. After this I’ll put all the officers in one box and -all the common soldiers in another. - -_BROWNIE brings in five girls who represent books. They sing_— - - _Song—Air_: MY BONNIE - -FIRST BOOK: - - WE’RE BOOKS filled with stories and pictures. - We want to stay spotless and clean. - And not become dog eared and dirty - Like most story books you have seen. - -_Chorus_: - - We want to stay - Right here in Santa Claus Land, we do. - We want to stay - Right here in Santa Claus Land. - -SECOND BOOK: - - WE’LL not be marked up by bad children— - Our pages all mislaid and worn. - All sticky with jelly and candy, - Our beautiful pictures all torn. - -FIRST BOOK: I’m Anderson’s Fairy Tales. I have the loveliest stories in -me—all the Ugly Duckling and the Shoes that Danced, and the poor little -Match Girl. - -SECOND BOOK: I’m the Just-So Stories. Oh, how funny I am. I tell about -how the Elephant got his trunk, how the Camel got his hump, and about -man’s first friend, the dog. - -THIRD BOOK: I am Alice in Wonderland. You’ll just love Alice. Everybody -does. The White Rabbit is the sweetest thing. - -FOURTH BOOK: I tell about Robinson Crusoe. I’m awfully exciting. A boy -would like me for Christmas but he won’t get me. - -FIFTH BOOK: I’m Little Women—with a lovely binding and lots of -pictures. The little girls’ grandmothers read and liked me for I am a -book that never gets old. I have earned a vacation so I shall stay home -this Christmas. - -SANTA: Dear me. This is very annoying. - -MRS. SANTA: Be firm. Be firm. - - _BROWNIE brings in a JUMPING JACK._ - -JUMPING-JACK: SANTA, I’m sorry to seem fussy but I really can’t go out -this year. How would you like to be capering like this [_jerks about_] -every time someone pulled a string. Folks think a JUMPING-JACK’S arms -and legs never get tired but I want to tell you they do. - -SANTA _and_ MRS. SANTA [_together_]: Poor thing. - - _BROWNIE brings in TOP._ - -TOP [_spinning round and round_]: SANTA, I’m so dizzy my head will fly -off. After I was made all the Brownies in the workshop kept spinning -me just because I have such a sweet hum. If I have to be put on a -Christmas tree and be played with all day tomorrow I shall spin myself -to death. I expect to stay right here, SANTA. - -MRS. SANTA: But it isn’t hard work to spin. - -TOP: You just try it for a day, dear MRS. SANTA. - -_BROWNIE brings in beautiful doll._ - -DOLL: I suppose you’re cross, SANTA, but I can’t help it. I have heard -the most terrible stories about the way dolls are treated by careless -little girls. They have their lovely curls torn off and their eyes -are poked in by little girl’s fingers. They are left outdoors in the -sun and rain and that spoils the complexion. It took two days to make -my complexion and I will not have it spoiled. Think of having this -lovely dress made dirty by sticky fingers. You and MRS. SANTA will be -lonesome. You really need me any way. I have named myself since I do -not intend that any child shall have a chance to name me. - -BROWNIE: What is your name? - -DOLL: It is beautiful. GWENDOLYN GERALDINE GENEVIEVE ARABELLA. Isn’t -that a delightful name? - -BROWNIE: I shall call you JERRY for short. I can’t remember all that -list. - -DOLL: JACK-OF ALL-TRADES, you’ll address me by my proper name or not at -all. - -SANTA: Don’t quarrel. He won’t call you anything for you won’t be here. -[_DOLL cries._] - - _BROWNIE brings in FOUNTAIN PEN._ - -PEN: SANTA, I’m entirely too smart to give away. I can write wonderful -things. - -SANTA: What have you written? - -PEN: I’ll say my last poem for you. I just wrote it on my box lid. It -is what a little boy said at a Christmas entertainment and it’s about -you. - -MRS. SANTA: Say it for us, PEN. - -PEN [_Recites_]: - - LAST Christmas eve, at twelve o’clock— - I know ’twas very shocking— - I tried to see dear SANTA CLAUS, - The while he filled my stocking. - - I hid within the chimney nook - And chuckled with elation - To think how SANTA’D be surprised - And filled with consternation. - - But, later, SANTA was amused, - ’Twas he who did the peeping. - I never saw how SANTA looked, - Alas, he found me sleeping. - -SANTA: Ha! Ha! They never catch old SANTA napping. Every year some -child tries to see me fill his stocking but it’s no use. It can’t be -done. - -PEN: You can see for yourself, SANTA, that you need some one like -me with you all the time. If I can write verses like that think how -beautifully I could answer the millions of letters you get every year -from the children all over the world. You need me SANTA. Don’t think of -sending me away. - -SANTA: Well, PEN I’ve answered letters without you for a great many -years, but perhaps you are right. - -MRS. SANTA: SANTA, be firm, be firm. - - _BROWNIE brings in CHRISTMAS TREE, crying._ - -TREE: I won’t be trimmed. I won’t be trimmed. I don’t want things hung -on me. I hate candles. I don’t want tinsel strung over my branches. -Those silly toys will be stuck all over me. I won’t be a CHRISTMAS -TREE, so there. - -ALL THE TOYS: We’re not going away. Don’t worry. We don’t expect to be -hung on any tree. - -SANTA: You poor little tree—stop crying. You and the TOYS may stay with -me till next year. - -TREE _and_ TOYS: Oh, thank you, SANTA. You are a dear. - -MRS. SANTA: There, I knew he wouldn’t be firm. He spoils them all. - -_TREE and TOYS retire to rear of stage and appear to talk together._ - - _Enter BROWNIE._ - -BROWNIE: Oh, SANTA, I have just received a terrible message on the -wireless from a little settlement in Alaska. - -SANTA: What is it? What is it? - -BROWNIE: The message was sent by your helper, FLEET-FOOT. He learned -just an hour ago that there is a family living in the little settlement -that was not counted when he made his census. There are two children—a -boy and a girl, both very small. - -MRS. SANTA: Poor little things, and no presents left for them. - -SANTA: No, I must start in five minutes. There’s no time to make -anything for them now. - -BROWNIE: There’s nothing left in the workshop. I just looked. It’s a -shame. FLEET-FOOT says they are such nice children. - - _During all this conversation the TREE and the TOYS have - been listening very carefully. They come forward._ - -TREE: How many children, did you say? - -BROWNIE: Two—very nice ones. - -SOLDIERS [_together_]: Do you think they could tell a General from a -private? - -DOLL: Does the little girl have clean hands? - -PEN: I suppose the parents might appreciate my poetry. - -TOP: Nights are long in Alaska. They would spin me only in the daytime -I suppose. - -JUMPING-JACK: One reason why I wanted to stay here was because of the -climate. It’s cold in Alaska, too, isn’t it SANTA? - -SANTA: Yes, my child, yes. - -BOOKS [_together_]: You think we ought to go, don’t you, SANTA? - -SANTA: My dear TOYS, I leave it to your consciences. Do you like to -think of those two little children way up in Alaska doing without any -Christmas gifts because you were selfish? - -TOYS _and_ TREE [_together_]: Oh, SANTA, you always get us to do just -what you want us to anyway. - -TREE: Come on, folks, we might as well go in and be packed. There’s -nothing else to do. - -TOYS: Yes, come on. - -MRS. SANTA: I’m so glad Santa was firm. - -SANTA: Before we go let’s sing one song together—a good old Christmas -song. - -TREE _and_ TOYS: All right. - -ALL sing— - -_Air_: SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP - - 1—Blow, cold winds, blow - Across the drifting snow. - The Christmas bells chime sweet and clear - Like fairy music to the ear, - Blow, cold winds, blow. - - 2—Sing, gayly sing - Make all the echoes ring. - Since Christmas comes but once a year - We’ll celebrate with right good cheer, - Sing, gayly sing. - - 3—Glow, hearth fires, glow. - The Christmas lights are low. - The Yule log’s almost burned away— - At dawn the ashes will be gray. - Glow, hearth fires, glow. - - CURTAIN - - - - -Entertainments for All Occasions - - -_Special Day Entertainments_ - - =BEST CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES=—Irish $0.40 - =CHOICE CHRISTMAS DIALOGUES AND PLAYS=—Irish .40 - =CHOICE CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENTS=—Irish .40 - =CHRISTMAS AT McCARTHYS’=—Guptill .25 - =CHRISTMAS AT PUMPKIN HOLLER=—Guptill .25 - =CHRISTMAS EVE AT MULLIGAN’S=—Irish .25 - =CHRISTMAS SPEAKIN’ AT SKAGGS’ SKULE=—Irish .25 - =IN A TOY SHOP=—Preston .25 - =THE PRIMARY CHRISTMAS BOOK=—Irish .40 - =PUMPKIN PIE PETER=—Irish .25 - =THE REUNION AT PINE KNOT RANCH=—Irish .25 - =SNOWBOUND FOR CHRISTMAS=—Preston .25 - =A STRIKE IN SANTA LAND=—Preston .25 - =A THANKSGIVING CONSPIRACY=—Irish .25 - =A THANKSGIVING DREAM=—Preston .25 - =A TOPSY-TURVY CHRISTMAS=—Guptill .25 - - -_Dialogues and Children’s Plays_ - - =ALL IN A GARDEN FAIR=—Wilbur $0.25 - =DOLLS ON DRESS PARADE=—Preston .25 - =A PARTY IN MOTHER GOOSE LAND=—Preston .25 - =SNAPPY HUMOROUS DIALOGUES=—Irish .40 - - -_Recitations and Pantomimes_ - - =CATCHY PRIMARY RECITATIONS=—Irish $0.30 - =OLD TIME SONGS PANTOMIMED=—Irish .40 - - -_Plays_ - - =THE DEAREST THING IN BOOTS=—MacKenzie $0.25 - =THE GREAT CHICKEN STEALING CASE OF EBENEZER COUNTY=—Richardson .25 - =THE GREAT WHISKEY STEALING CASE=—Richardson .25 - =MISS JANIE; OR, THE CURTAILED COURTSHIP=—Bonham .25 - =THAT AWFUL LETTER=—MacKenzie .25 - =THE UNEXPECTED GUEST=—MacKenzie .25 - - -_Monologues_ - - =AS OUR WASHWOMAN SEES IT=—MacKenzie $0.25 - =ASK OUIJA=—MacKenzie .25 - =THE COUNTRY COUSIN SPEAKS HER MIND=—MacKenzie .25 - =GLADYS REVIEWS THE DANCE=—MacKenzie .25 - =I’M ENGAGED=—MacKenzie .25 - =SHE SAYS SHE STUDIES=—MacKenzie .25 - =SUSAN GETS READY FOR CHURCH=—MacKenzie .25 - - - =PAINE PUBLISHING CO.= =Dayton, Ohio= - - - - -_Entertainments for Christmas_ - - - - =CHOICE CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENTS= =By Marie Irish= - -For children of all grades.
