_Brooklyn Daily Eagle_: "Mary MacMillan, whose first volume of short plays
proved that she possessed unusual gifts as a dramatist, has justified the
hopes of her friends in a second volume, 'More Short Plays,' which reveal
the author as the possessor of a charming literary style coupled with a
sure dramatic sense that never leads her idea astray.... In them all the
reader will find a rich and delicate charm, a bountiful endowment of humor
and wit, a penetrating knowledge of human nature, and a deft touch in the
drawing of character. They are delicately and sympathetically done and
their literary charm is undeniable."

A POETIC DRAMA
By MARGARET DOUGLAS ROGERS
_A dramatic poem in two acts, treating in altogether new fashion the world
old story of Pandora, the first woman._
_New Haven Times Leader_:

_Evangelical Messenger_:
"A very beautifully written portrayal of the old story
of Pandora."
_Rochester Post Dispatch_:
"There is much poetic feeling in the treatment of the
subject."
_Grand Rapids Herald_:
"THE GIFT, dealing with this ever interesting
mythological story, is a valuable addition to the
dramas of the day."
_St. Xavier Calendar_:
"The story of Pandora is so set down as to bring out
its stage possibilities. Told by Mrs. Rogers in
exquisite language."
_Salt Lake Tribune_:
"The tale is charmingly wrought and has possibilities
as a simple dramatic production, as well as being a
delightful morsel of light reading."
_Cincinnati Enquirer_:
"The love story is delightfully told and the dramatic
action of the play is swift and strong."
_Buffalo Express_:
"It is a delightful bit of fancy with a dramatic and
poetic setting."
_Boston Woman's Journal_:
"Epimetheus and Pandora and her box are charmingly
presented."
_Worcester Gazette_:
"It is absolutely refreshing to find a writer willing
to risk a venture harking back to the times of the
Muses and the other worthies of mythological fame. * *
* The story of Pandora's box told in verse by a woman.
It may be said it could not have been better written
had a representative of the one who only assisted at
the opening been responsible for the play."
