Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.

“A combination of acute and searching criticism of modern plays and players with unlimited flippancy and egotism. Deliciously entertaining, if not altogether profitable, reading; for those familiar with the plays and the actors.”

“Mr. Shaw is at his sanest in the dramatic criticisms contributed weekly to the ‘Saturday review.’” H. W. Boynton.

“They made sparkling reading in those days, but that is hardly sufficient to justify the preservation of such current chroniclings in permanent form.”

“If there is anyone surviving at this time of day who thinks Mr. Shaw merely a crank or merely a ‘farceur’, these collected dramatic criticisms ought to open his eyes.
