Caroline Caffin knows vaudeville from the inside; she loves it too, and she writes with understanding of the men and women who, season after season, bring joy to so many people in all of the larger cities. Mr. De Zayas, one of the cleverest of living cartoonists, furnishes almost two score of his inimitable caricatures of our most popular vaudeville stars. Among those who flit through these pages are: Nora Bayes Eva Tanguay Harry Lauder Yvette Guilbert Fay Templeton Ruth St. Denis Gertrude Hoffman The Castles Bernhardt Elsie Janis Marie Lloyd Annette Kellerman Frank Tinney McIntyre & Heath Al Jolson THE NEW MOVEMENT IN THE THEATRE By Sheldon Cheney _8vo. Cloth, with sixteen plates and explanatory tissues. $2.00 net_ A most comprehensive book. There is not an aspect of the tremendously interesting new movement in the theatre upon which Mr. Cheney does not touch. And to every chapter he brings a wealth of knowledge gathered from a great variety of sources—most of it at first hand. Furthermore, he writes with charm and distinction: his book never fails, before all else, to interest. Gordon Craig, Max Reinhardt, Bakst, and the Russian Ballet; Shaw, Galsworthy, the German, French and American contemporary drama; David Belasco, the influence of the Greek theatre, the newest mechanical and architectural developments in the theatre—all these and others are in Mr. Cheney’s dozen brilliant chapters. Numerous interesting illustrations add to the value of his book and make it one that no lover of the theatre can afford to be without. _Order from Your Bookseller_ MITCHELL KENNERLEY, PUBLISHER, NEW YORK “THE RAFT” BY CONINGSBY DAWSON Author of “The Garden Without Walls,” “Florence on a Certain Night,” etc. “Life at its beginning and its end is bounded by a haunted wood. When no one is watching, children creep back to it to play with the fairies and to listen to the angels’ footsteps. As the road of their journey lengthens, they return more rarely. Remembering less and less, they build themselves cities of imperative endeavor. But at night the wood comes marching to their walls, tall trees moving silently as clouds and little trees treading softly. The green host halts and calls—in the voice of memory, poetry, religion, legend, or, as the Greeks put it, in the faint pipes and stampeding feet of Pan.” HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY 34 West Thirty-third Street NEW YORK IMPORTANT NEW SCRIBNER BOOKS Through the Brazilian Wilderness
