“Mollentrave on Women”, by Alfred Sutro (1863 - 1933)
Mollentrave has written a “Love Doctor” book for men entitled “Mollentrave on Women” which purports to give any man the “Midas Touch” with the fairer sex.

But as King Midas could’ve told us, these things have a way of backfiring…

(Summary by Son of the Exiles)
This project is complete. Audio files can be found on our Librivox catalog page at https://librivox.org/mollentrave-on-women-by-alfred-sutro/

Now that Belle Stratagem is at Archive waiting to be cataloged, I have ability to add this play to my MC list. Ready shortly.

EDIT: MW ready to be filled in.

Thanks, Todd

(By the way, when using the Project Template, do not put the title of the project in quotes. It won't sort correctly then - I just remove the quotes to set the project up.)
