About this book

First published in 1910, "Home Fun" is a guide to entertaining guests in your own home, with chapters on everything from holding amateur performances and odd experiments, to indoor fireworks, parlour games, and beyond! This fantastic volume is full of interesting ideas, and it would make for a wonderful addition to any home collection. Contents include: "Amateur Theatricals", "Mysteries of Make-up", "The Quick-Change Artist", "Character Impersonations", "the Universal Hat", "Some Suggestions in Black", "Tableaux Vivants", 'Charades", "The Possibilities of the Musical Sketch", "Vamping Simplified", "An Evening at the Phonograph", "Musical Glasses", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
