Three Short Plays
By MARY S. WATTS
12ᵒ, $1.25
The brilliant dialogue in the novels of Mary S. Watts has always evoked the heartiest of praise from the critics. In fact it is not infrequently maintained that of all American writers Mrs. Watts is the most adept in the handling of book conversations. Her appearance, therefore, as a dramatist, is not at all unexpected to those who have been following her literary career. Her book, Three Short Plays, justifies the expectations of those who have looked for worthwhile work from her in this field.
Van Zorn: A Comedy in Three Acts
By EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON
$1.25
Edwin Arlington Robinson is known as one of the most accomplished of the younger generation of American poets. In this delightful play Mr. Robinson tells with a biting humor the story of the salvation of a soul.
“Attraction of the play is the manner in which from scene to scene the interest is piqued, until at last there is a denouement almost Shavian in its impudence, that is, the impudence of the main characters.
“One imagines the play would be highly entertaining on the stage. Incidentally it affords good reading.”—Kentucky Post.
