YOLANDA OF CYPRUS
A Poetic Drama by
CALE YOUNG RICE
Minnie Maddern Fisk says: "No one can doubt that it is superior poetically and dramatically to Stephen Phillips' work," and that Mr. Rice ranks with Mr. Phillips at his best has often been reaffirmed.
"It is encouraging to the hope of a native drama to know that an American has written a play which is at the same time of decided poetic merit and of decided dramatic power." The New York Times (Charles M. Hathaway, Jr.).
"The most remarkable quality of the play is its sustained dramatic strength. Poetically it is frequently of great beauty. It is also lofty in conception, lucid and felicitous in style, and the dramatic pulse throbs in every line." The Chicago Record-Herald.
The Springfield Republican says: "The characters are drawn with force and the play is dignified and powerful," and adds that if it does not succeed on the stage it will be "because of its excellence."
"Mr. Rice is one of the few present-day poets who have the steadiness and weight for a well-sustained drama." The Louisville Post (Margaret Anderson).
"It has equal command of imagination, dramatic utterance, picturesque effectiveness and metrical harmony." The London (England) Bookman.
