Two French comedies of love and life and the relations between men and women. In THE VILLAGE COQUETTE a Widow trains a country girl, Lisette, in the ways of a Parisian coquette, thinking to make her into an image of herself; but finds that her protegee has become too apt a pupil for the Widow's own comfort, and threatens to steal the older woman's own lover. THE CRAZY WAGER features some unusual gender-bending for the time. Tiggs, an older man camouflaged as a rich woman (the Marquise), pretends to love Angelica, who adopts the guise of a young, handsome Count--while the "Count" pretends to love the aging Mrs. Hardwick, so she can actual marry the widow's handsome son, Phillip. Both plays possess great vivacity and are full of laughter and fun.

Two French comedies focusing on life and love. In STRAIGHT FROM THE CONVENT, a rich old man would like to marry a girl who's just emerged from the convent. Her mother wants her to cement the union because she has no money--and would like to see her daughter well-established. Needless to say, the girl thinks otherwise, and "innocently" manages to collect three other suitors THE INTERRUPTED WEDDING is about an impoverished Count and Countess who are always at odds with each other. They have just one servant, Adrien, who doubles as a valet and femme de chamber. The dirty old Count wants to marry Lucas, a peasant, to Nanette, so he can get at the girl himself. But Lucas demands a dowry, and the nobleman has no money. Then the Countess gets wind of her husband's real intentions... Two swift-moving and very funny farces that would play well even today
