Fwd: Re: Department Store Plays?

[Kym Bird]

Thank-you Darren.  In fact, I have a copy of the play, /A Demonstration 
of Scientific Salesman Ship/ by Madge MacBeth  but I do not have the 
citation information.  I got the play from a scholar out West,  
Christian Bock, who at the moment is not responding and who never 
disclosed its provenance. Where he got the play is anyone's guess.  In 
fact, Stephen Low is making these inquiries for me.  So, if anyone knows 
or has ideas about the origins of the play, I would surely appreciate 
the information.  As ever, Kym

As she is also compiling an anthology of early Canadian women plays, I suspect it is the same person.  Perhaps she can provide a copy.
