_PLAYS OF TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW_ _LADY PATRICIA_ _PLAYS OF TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW._ DON. By RUDOLF BESIER. “Mr. Besier is a man who can see and think for himself, and constructs as setting for the result of that activity a form of his own. The construction of ‘Don’ is as daring as it is original.”—Mr. Max Beerbohm in _The Saturday Review_. “It is a fresh and moving story ... and full of good things.”—Mr. A. B. Walkley in _The Times_. “‘Don’ is a genuine modern comedy, rich in observation and courage, and will add to the author’s reputation as a sincere dramatist.”—Mr. E. F. Spence in _The Westminster Gazette_. “If the essence of drama be conflict, the wrestle of will, then ‘Don,’ by Rudolf Besier, comes as near as any play I know to essential drama. It is a sparring match in heaven knows how many rounds.”—Mr. William Archer in _The Nation_. THE EARTH. By JAMES B. FAGAN. “A magnificent play—at one and the same time a vital and fearless attack on political fraud, and a brilliantly written strong human drama. Moreover, the lighter interludes are written with a brilliance and a polished humour with which one had not credited Mr. Fagan hitherto”—_The Daily Chronicle._ “‘The Earth’ must conquer every one by its buoyant irony, its pungent delineations, and not least by its rich stores of simple and wholesome moral feeling.... The credit may be equally divided between the vivacity and iridescence of its witty and trenchant dialogue and the tenacious grip of its searching and most substantial issues.”—_The Pall Mall Gazette._ “An interesting and remarkable achievement.”—_The Westminster Gazette._ LONDON: T.
