Smart, Clever, Brilliant, and Interesting. _AT ALL LIBRARIES AND BOOKSELLERS._ SIX SHILLINGS EACH. BACK TO LILAC LAND. By C. RANGER-GULL, _Author of “The Hypocrite,” “Miss Malevolent,” “The Serf,” etc._ SECOND EDITION. =The Pall Mall Gazette.=—“A very intelligent and well-written story. A decidedly entertaining novel—fresh and well constructed, and evidently written by one who understands the inwardness of _the_ profession.” =Morning Post.=—“A good novel of stage life is a rare bird in this country, and the author of ‘Back to Lilac Land,’ who has given us this good thing, deserves a full measure of praise.” =The Literary World.=—“The anonymous author has written a story which all who have seriously considered the subject must applaud as a faithful, reasonable, and powerful account of the touring actor’s life.... ‘Back to Lilac Land’ will be classed with George Moore’s ‘A Mummer’s Wife,’ and with Leonard Merrick’s ‘The Actor Manager,’ as one of the three best novels of theatrical life which the last fifteen years have yielded.” CYNTHIA’S DAMAGES. By REGINALD TURNER, _Author of “The Comedy of Progress,” etc._ =Sunday Special.=—“A bright, amusing story of life behind the footlights.” =The Gentlewoman.=—“A sprightly, amusing yarn. Mr. Reginald Turner is no stranger to life behind the scenes.” =Ladies’ Review.=—“‘Cynthia’s Damages’ proves on reading to be one of the smartest and brightest of theatrical tales we have met with for a long time. It is most certainly a novel which will please all women.” =The Daily Telegraph.=—“A story in which wit, humour, farce, and sarcasm are admirably blended—an extravaganza brimful of fun, and showing considerable power in the management of dialogue, as well as in character-drawing. The author appears to be what the French call a _blagueur_, and treats the affair of stage-life and society with a polished and easy cynicism that evokes a smile and compels us to read on.... The story from beginning to end is sprightly and vivacious, contains many quaint touches of observation, and is altogether a readable book.” IN THE WORLD OF MIMES. By LEWIS MELVILLE. =Graphic.=—“Undeniably interesting. Every page shows that he writes from inside knowledge.” =Daily Mail.=—“A lurid story of stage life. The book shows real observation and cleverness.” =Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.=—“This is distinctly a clever book, and ably written.”
