Summary "The Dolls on Dress Parade" by Effa E. Preston is a children's play written in the early 20th century. This whimsical stage production features various dolls that come to life, showcasing their unique characteristics to a young girl who is searching for a new doll. The play explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the intrinsic value of old toys over new ones, making it a delightful experience for both children and adults. In the play, a little girl enters a doll shop and is greeted by the shop woman and the Soldier Doll, who prepares her for a grand "dress parade" of the dolls. Each doll, from the graceful French Doll to the utilitarian Rag Doll, presents itself with a song highlighting its distinct traits. As the parade progresses, the audience witnesses the charm and character of the older, less glamorous Mary Alice, the Old Doll, who ultimately wins the child's affection. The girl recognizes that true friendship and love go beyond superficial appearances, resulting in a heartwarming conclusion that celebrates the beauty of being “tried and true.” (This is an automatically generated summary.)
