RUTHERFORD AND SON. A Play in Three Acts.
By GITHA SOWERBY. Cloth, 2s. 6d. net.
"Miss Sowerby’s ’Rutherford and Son’ is the best first play since
’Chains’ of Miss Elizabeth Baker.... These authors take you immediately
by the ear, and limit their discourses strictly to the text.... These
plays are really astonishing examples of what can be done in a modern
theatre by keeping strictly to the point."--_Saturday Review_.
"I have read few good acting plays which are so consecutive and
satisfactory to read."--_T. P.’s Weekly_.

PAINS AND PENALTIES: A Defence of Queen Caroline. By LAURENCE HOUSMAN.
Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d. net.
"This play has been censored. It is a play by a poet and artist. And
it goes very deeply and hauntingly into the heart. The note that it
sounds is the note of Justice, and he would indeed be either a fearful
or a fawning reader who could find aught to object to in it."--_The
Observer_.

THE COURT THEATRE, 1904-1907. A Criticism and Commentary by DESMOND
MACCARTHY. With an Appendix of Reprinted Programmes of the
Vedrenne-Barker Management. 2s. 6d. net.
MAX BEERBOHM in _The Saturday Review_ says: "When Mr MacCarthy was
writing weekly criticisms, I always turned in him as to one by whom an
austere sobriety of judgment was surprisingly expressed in terms of
youthful ardour. In this book he is as ardent as ever, and as just; and
his appreciation of Mr Shaw as dramatist seems to me both the most
suggestive and the soundest that has been done yet."
