_THE RIGORDANS. By EDWARD PERCY_
_“Strong, sombre, moving drama ... a play to read.”—“Manchester
Guardian.”_
_KRISHNA KUMARI. By EDWARD THOMPSON_
_“A play about India and a very fine one.”—“Nation and
Athenæum.”_
_CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN DRAMATISTS_
_THE VERGE. By SUSAN GLASPELL. (2nd Impression.)_
_“Extraordinarily interesting, besides being very unusual.
Fresh, curious, and dramatically alive.... Here there is revolt
against the platitude, the convention, but the repudiation
of life as it is goes far beyond the social rebellion ... it
is an attempt to capture something beyond the reaches of our
souls.”—“Manchester Guardian.”_
_“Few living dramatists have succeeded so well in amalgamating
psychology with perfect stagecraft.”—“Westminster Gazette.”_
_INHERITORS. By SUSAN GLASPELL_
_“This is a fine play ... one would not rank it below ‘An Enemy
of the People,’ and for my own part I am inclined to think it
ranks with ‘The Master Builder.’”—James Agate in the “Sunday
Times.”_
_“There is no mistaking the power and insight of her
characterisation ... the first act is a little epic of the
pioneer days of America, beautifully written and deeply
felt.”—“Daily Telegraph.”_
_BERNICE. By SUSAN GLASPELL_
_“Remorselessly, every word striking home, this quiet tragedy
works to an end.”—“The Weekly Westminster.”_
_“By very subtle touches Susan Glaspell builds up the character
of Bernice, a woman who died before the play opens.”—E. A.
Baughan in the “Daily News.”_
_MOSES. A Play, a Protest, and a Proposal. By LAWRENCE LANGNER_
_“Entertaining and effective ... always incisive and usually
profound.”—“Manchester Guardian.”_
_THE SPRING. By GEORGE CRAM COOK_
_“Is a work of arresting theme and highly imaginative
workmanship.”—The late William Archer._
_“A strange and arresting play on the psychic, mixing argument
with emotion in an extraordinary manner.”—Kenneth MacGowan._
_NEW PLAYS IN PREPARATION_
_THE FIREBRAND. By EDWIN JUSTUS MAYER_
_THE SPORT OF GODS. By JOHN COURNOS_
_FOUR ONE ACT PLAYS. GWEN JOHN_
_OTHER PLAYS PUBLISHED BY ERNEST BENN LTD_
_BEGGAR ON HORSEBACK. By GEORGE S. KAUFMAN & MARC CONNELLY_
_“A quaint and rollicking ‘nightmare play.’”—“Referee.”_
_“This amusing satire ... is the fiercest satire on materialism
we have ever read.”—“Daily Graphic.”_
_THE COLONNADE. By STARK YOUNG_
_“Mr. Stark Young makes his effects with a beautiful simplicity
and you have not to read far to perceive that ‘The Colonnade’
is a remarkable play. It comes to significant life in a
scene, full of emotion, between father and son. There is a
strong opposition of wills, and the difference between them
repeats the difference that had separated the father from his
wife.”—Allan Monkhouse in the “Manchester Guardian.”_
