Brooklyn Eagle: "A dramatic critic who is not just 'busting' himself with Titanic intellectualities, but who is a readable dramatic critic.... Mr. Hale is a modest and sensible, as well as an acute and sound critic.... Most people will be surprised and delighted with Mr. Hale's simplicity, perspicuity, and ingenuousness."
New York Dramatic Mirror: "Though one may not always agree with Mr. Hale's opinions, yet one always finds that he has something interesting to say, and that he says it well. Entertaining and generally instructive without being pedantic."
The Theatre: "A pleasing lightness of touch.... Very readable book."

THE NIBELUNGENLEID
Translated into rhymed verse in the metre of the original by George Henry Needler, of University College, Toronto. Gilt top, 335 pp. 12mo. $1.75 net (by mail $1.87).
Prof. H. C. G. Brandt, Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y.: "It is the best English translation, without question. The translator shows his good judgment when he retains the original strophe, the characteristic last half-verse with its four ictus included. That a Germanist could write an introduction of only 36 pages to such a much-discussed epic will be a marvel to his fellows. But it contains all the general reader wants and needs to know."
N. Y. Evening Post: "At last we have an English translation of the Nibelungenlied which is in every way worthy of the original."
