“Prof. Baker’s course in playwriting at Harvard has published two volumes of one-act plays written by students and performed at the university during the year. Of the four plays of this series, ‘Torches,’ by Kenneth Raisbeck, is a colorful tragedy of the Italian renaissance with a special musical prelude by R. T. Serp; ‘Cooks and cardinals,’ by Norman C. Lindau is a distinctly workable comedy for amateur production; ‘A flitch of bacon’ by Eleanor Holmes Hinkley is a farce comedy with an Elizabethan setting; and ‘The playroom,’ by Doris F. Halman is a modern fantasy wistful in its appeal and containing an echo of the late war.”—Springf’d Republican
“The book is one not to be overlooked by any organization searching for one-act plays which are simple enough to present under amateur conditions, and yet worth spending the time upon.” W. P. Eaton
