_$1.25_ “The reader is struck by the fascinating possibilities of Yzdra as acting drama. It would make a striking and beautiful play for the stage, and we can well imagine that even the greatest actress would be glad to assume the rôle of the ill-fated Princess. The dialogue is, from the point of view of the stage, certain in its effective quality.”—_New York Times._ “There are both grace and strength in this drama and it also possesses the movement and spirit for presentation upon the stage. Some of the figures used are striking and beautiful, quite free from excess, and sometimes almost austere in their restraint. The characters are clearly individualized and a just balance is preserved in the action.”—_Outlook._ =The Story of Eleusis= _$1.25_ “The most thoroughly imbued with the classic mood of the younger American poets is Louis V. Ledoux. In him rings a genuine passion; no false simulation; no reflection of a glamour that is remote by association, or is the thin echo of other imaginative voices.... Beside the beauty of the verse, stately and rich in its calm melodic simplicity, there is envisaged a feeling for the deeper springs of life.”—_Boston Transcript._ “This lyrical drama comes from the pen of one of the finest of our young modern poets.... With a strength and simplicity that puts to shame the diffuseness and depravity of the new writers of vers libre ... this author writes a play less sensational than his previous ‘Yzdra’ but more sustained.... ‘Eleusis’ is Hellenic in the subject and in the beauty of its proportion and harmony ... and several of its lyrics are marvelous songs in rhythmic phrase and in underlying thought.”—_The Bellman_ (Minneapolis). “There must be thousands of readers who would give this new poem a warm and grateful welcome if only the rare quality of it could be brought properly to their attention.... This does not signify necessarily that the poem is an unqualified masterpiece, but it indicates the presence of a quality that has always been present in the grand style when the grand style has compelled itself to endure.”—_The New York Evening Sun._ =The Canterbury Pilgrims=: A Comedy BY PERCY MACKAYE _Decorated cloth, gilt top, 210 pages, 12mo, $1.25; boards, $1.00_ The principal characters are Geoffrey Chaucer; Alisoun, the wife of Bath; Madame Eglantine, the prioress, and Johanna, Marchioness of Kent. The time of the action is in April, 1387, and the scenes are the Tabard Inn, Southwark, another tavern on the road, and the exterior of Canterbury Cathedral. The story, which is entertaining from first to last, has to do with Chaucer’s adventure with the wife of Bath and his love for the prioress.
