FOOTNOTES:
[1] The words of Shakespeare used in this Masque, are quoted from the Tudor Edition of Shakespeare’s Works, edited by Neilson and Thorndike (Macmillan). The stage directions and cuts, however, are not taken from any edition, but have been made by me for purposes of the Inner Scenes.
[2] In this book these Inner Scenes are printed in black-faced type.
[3] This is the motive of Mr. Robert Edmond Jones’ cover design for this volume.
[4] An outline of suggestions on this subject I published in a volume, “The Civic Theatre, in Relation to the Redemption of Leisure” [1912]. Further ideas and their applications are contained in the prefaces and dramatic texts of my Bird Masque “Sanctuary,” “Saint Louis: A Civic Masque,” and “The New Citizenship,” a Civic Ritual.
[5] The outgoing cost of the Saint Louis production was $122,000; the income $139,000. The balance of $17,000 has been devoted to a fund for civic art. The cost of producing a single play by Sophocles at Athens was $500,000.

[9] The Masque Proper consists of the Prologue and Three Acts, without the Inner Scenes and the Epilogue and Interludes.
