_Daily Telegraph._--"'The Times' is the best example yet given
of Mr. Pinero's power as a satirist. So clever is his work that
it beats down opposition. So fascinating is his style that we
cannot help listening to him."
_Morning Post._--"Mr. Pinero's latest belongs to a high order of
dramatic literature, and the piece will be witnessed again with
all the greater zest after the perusal of such admirable
dialogue."
=THE PROFLIGATE=: A Play in Four Acts. With Portrait of the Author,
after J. MORDECAI. (Vol. II.)
_Pall Mall Gazette._--"Will be welcomed by all who have the true
interests of the stage at heart."
=THE CABINET MINISTER=: A Farce in Four Acts. (Vol. III.)
_Observer._--"It is as amusing to read as it was when played."
=THE HOBBY HORSE=: A Comedy in Three Acts. (Vol. IV.)
=LADY BOUNTIFUL.= A Play in Four Acts. (Vol. V.)
To be followed by The Magistrate, Dandy Dick, The Schoolmistress, The
Weaker Sex, Lords and Commons, The Squire, and Sweet Lavender.
=THE PRINCESSE MALEINE=: A Drama in Five Acts (Translated by Gerard
Harry), and
=THE INTRUDER=: A Drama in One Act. By MAURICE MAETERLINCK. With an
Introduction by HALL CAINE, and a Portrait of the Author. Small 4to,
cloth, 5_s._
_Athenæum._--"In the creation of the 'atmosphere' of the play M.
Maeterlinck shows his skill. It is here that he communicates to
us the _nouveau frisson_, here that he does what no one else has
done. In 'The Intruder' the art consists of the subtle
gradations of terror, the slow, creeping progress of the
nightmare of apprehension. Nothing quite like it has been done
before--not even by Poe--not even by Villiers."
=THE FRUITS OF ENLIGHTENMENT=: A Comedy in Four Acts. By Count LYOF
TOLSTOY. Translated from the Russian by E. J. DILLON. With Introduction
by A. W. PINERO. Small 4to, with Portrait, 5_s._
_Pall Mall Gazette._--"The whole effect of the play is
distinctly Molièresque; it has something of the large humanity
of the master. Its satire is genial, almost gay."
=HEDDA GABLER=: A Drama in Four Acts. By HENRIK IBSEN. Translated from
the Norwegian by EDMUND GOSSE. Small 4to, cloth, with Portrait, 5_s._
Vaudeville Edition, paper, 1_s._ Also a Limited Large Paper Edition,
21_s._ _net_.
_Times._--"The language in which this play is couched is a model
of brevity, decision, and pointedness.... Every line tells, and
there is not an incident that does not bear on the action
immediate or remote. As a corrective to the vapid and foolish
writing with which the stage is deluged 'Hedda Gabler' is
perhaps entitled to the place of honour."
=NERO AND ACTÉA=: A Tragedy. By ERIC MACKAY, Author of "A Lover's
Litanies," and "Love Letters of a Violinist." Crown 8vo, cloth, 5_s._
_Morning Post._--"Well written, picturesque, and thoroughly
dramatic."
=A NEW PLAY.= By HALL CAINE. Small 4to.
