"The book is welcome to all students of the modern
stage. It contains the fullest account of the
activities of Antoine's Free Theater to be found
anywhere--even in French."
_The Chicago Tribune says_:
"Mr. Clark's translations, with their accurate and
comprehensive prefaces, are necessary to anyone
interested in modern drama.... If the American reader
will forget Yankee notions of morality... if the reader
will assume the French point of view, this book will
prove a rarely valuable experience. Mr. Clark has done
this important task excellently."

DRAMATIC LITERATURE
_Contemporary French Dramatists_
By BARRETT H. CLARK
_In "Contemporary French Dramatists" Mr. Barrett H. Clark, author of "The
Continental Drama of Today," "The British and American Drama of Today,"
translator of "Four Plays of the Free Theater," and of various plays of
Donnay, Hervieu, Lemaître, Sardou, Lavedan, etc., has contributed the first
collection of studies on the modern French theater. Mr. Clark takes up the
chief dramatists of France beginning with the Théâtre-Libre: Curel, Brieux,
Hervieu, Lemaître, Lavedan, Donnay, Porto-Riche, Rostand, Bataille,
Bernstein, Capus, Flers, and Caillavet. The book contains numerous
quotations from the chief representative plays of each dramatist, a
separate chapter on "Characteristics" and the most complete bibliography to
be found anywhere._
_This book gives a study of contemporary drama in France which has been
more neglected than any other European country._
_Independent, New York_:
"Almost indispensable to the student of the theater."
_Boston Transcript_:
"Mr. Clark's method of analyzing the works of the
Playwrights selected is simple and helpful. * * * As a
manual for reference or story, 'Contemporary French
Dramatists,' with its added bibliographical material,
will serve well its purpose."

_The Antigone of Sophocles_
By PROF. JOSEPH EDWARD HARRY
_An acting version of this most perfect of all dramas. A scholarly work in
readable English. Especially adaptable for Colleges, Dramatic Societies,
etc._
_Post Express_, Rochester:
"He has done his work well." "Professor Harry has
translated with a virile force that is almost
Shakespearean." "The difficult task of rendering the
choruses into English lyrical verse has been very
creditably accomplished."
_Argonaut_, San Francisco:
"Professor Harry is a competent translator not only
because of his classical knowledge, but also because of
a certain enthusiastic sympathy that shows itself in an
unfailing choice of words and expression."
