BROTHERS, A SARDONIC COMEDY: Two "poor whites" quarrel violently over a worthless inheritance, and then combine in arson to prevent their mother from getting it: a disquieting and searching study of depths of shiftlessness and passionate meanness. In _Fifty Contemporary One-Act Plays_, edited by Frank Shay and Pierre S. Loving. Frank Shay. THE CLOD: A powerful drama of the flare-up of a stolid and apparently unfeeling nature in the flame of the pity and horror of war. In _Washington Square Plays_, Doubleday. +Jacinto Benavente+ HIS WIDOW'S HUSBAND: An absurd comedy of the small gossip and rigid conventions in a Spanish provincial capital. (Translated by John Garrett Underhill.) In Plays, _First Series_, Scribner's. +Arnold Bennett+ A GOOD WOMAN: A farcical triangular plot with particularly good comic characters. In _Polite Farces_, Doran. THE STEPMOTHER: Satirical presentment of a lady novelist, her efficient secretary, and her stepson, not to mention the doctor downstairs; amusing studies in character. _Ibid._ THE GREAT ADVENTURE: Good dramatization of the astounding adventures of Priam Farll (from _Buried Alive_), who attends his own funeral in Westminster Abbey, marries a young and suitable widow with whom his late valet has corresponded through a matrimonial bureau, and meets other amazing situations. Doran. THE TITLE: A delightful comedy in which several people who have denounced the disgraceful awarding of English titles have a bad time of it with Mrs. Culver, who does not propose to let slip the opportunity of being called "My Lady." You can probably guess which side wins in the end. Doran. +Gordon Bottomley+ KING LEAR'S WIFE: An episode in King Lear's earlier years, which throws much imaginative light on Goneril's and Cordelia's later treatment of their father. Lear's wife herself, as we might have guessed, is a pathetic figure. Constable, London; also in _Georgian Poetry_, 1913-15. MIDSUMMER EVE: Several farm maidservants meet to see their future lovers' spirits on Midsummer Eve, but see only the "fetch" or double of one of them, foretelling her death. In _King Lear's Wife and Other Plays_, Constable. +Anna Hempstead Branch+ ROSE OF THE WIND: A fairy play of the dancing and allurement of bewitched slippers, and of other wonders. Houghton Mifflin. +Harold Brighouse+ THE DOORWAY: A sharp and cruel picture of unsheltered people on a freezing night in London. Joseph Williams, London. THE GAME: A cocksure and triumphant girl meets more than her match in an old peasant woman, the mother of the man she wants to marry. In Three Lancashire Plays, Samuel French. HOBSON'S CHOICE: In which the eldest daughter at Hobson's plays a winning game against her tyrannous father and superior-feeling sisters, using a quite excellent but disregarded piece. Constable, London; Doubleday, New York.
