More about Cloon people, including the rescue of Hyacinth Halvey from his troublesome reputation and from the place by the magic and lunacy of moonlight. In _New Irish Comedies_, Putnam. DAMER'S GOLD: A fortunate rescue from the torments of miserliness and pestilent heirs; the author's notes on the origin of the play are interesting. _Ibid._ THE GAOL GATE: A brief and effective tragic story of two women who fear that their man has betrayed his mates, but who find that he has been hanged without informing; the mother improvises a psalm of praise of his steadfastness. In _Seven Short Plays_. THE TRAVELING MAN: A peasant woman who has been befriended by a mysterious wanderer expects his return so that she may thank him. She drives away a tramp from her kitchen, and then discovers who he was. _Ibid._ THE GOLDEN APPLE: Many scenes, some excellent fun; of a search for miraculous fruit, of a giant who is high and bloodthirsty only in carefully fostered reputation, and the like matters. Putnam. +St. John Hankin+ THE PERFECT LOVER: Delightful dramatic version of Suckling's "Constant Lover." In _Dramatic Works_, Seeker. RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL: The same young man, or his close image, having managed to be received by his family as a returned prodigal, calmly puts upon them the question of his future. _Ibid._ THE CASSILIS ENGAGEMENT _Ibid._ +Gerhardt Hauptmann+ THE WEAVERS: Painful presentation of the suffering of the German weavers in the first adjustments of the Industrial Revolution. In Dickinson's _Chief Contemporary Dramatists_; also in Lewisohn's translations, Huebsch. +Winifred N. Hawkridge+ THE FLORIST SHOP: Rather sentimentalist play of good influences wafted by a young woman as a florist's clerk; excellent business combines with the influences.

Bobbs, Merrill. +Theresa Helburn+ ENTER THE HERO: A madly fanciful girl fabricates a romance out of whole cloth, casts a friend as hero, and tells her small world about it. Even the rough measures the hero has to use to escape do not succeed in curing her of the habit. In _Flying Stage Plays, No. 4_, Ahrens; _Fifty Contemporary One-Act Plays_, Stewart and Kidd. +Perez Hirschbein+ IN THE DARK: Grim and awful picture of the depths of misery and starvation in a Ghetto basement.
