PUTNAM'S SONS NEW YORK LONDON _Dramas of Importance_ Plays The Silver Box--Joy--Strife By John Galsworthy Author of "The Country House," etc. Crown 8vo. $1.35 net "By common consent, London has witnessed this week a play of serious importance, not approached by any other book or drama of the season, John Galsworthy's 'The Strife.' It is regarded not merely as a remarkable social document of significance, but as a creation which, while of the most modern realism, is yet classic in its pronounced art and exalted philosophy. The play shows the types of the strongest men as victims of comical events and of weaker men. It will be produced in America, where, on account of its realistic treatment of the subject of labor union, it is sure to be a sensation."--_Special cable dispatch to N.Y. Times._ The Nun of Kent A Drama By Grace Denio Litchfield Author of "Baldur the Beautiful," etc. Crown 8vo. $1.00 net "In this drama the pure essentials of dramatic writing are rarely blended.... The foundation for the stirring play is a pathetic episode given in Froude's Henry VIII.... "The lines of the poem, while full of thought, are also characterized by fervor and beauty. The strength of the play is centred upon a few characters.... 'The Nun of Kent' may be described as a fascinating dramatic story."--_Baltimore News._ Yzdra A Tragedy in Three Acts By Louis V. Ledoux Crown 8vo. Cloth. $1.25 net "There are both grace and strength in this drama and it also possesses the movement and spirit needed 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."--_The Outlook, New York._ New York G.P. Putnam's Sons London
