A most comprehensive book. There is not an aspect of the tremendously interesting new movement in the theatre upon which Mr. Cheney does not touch. And to every chapter he brings a wealth of knowledge gathered from a great variety of sources—most of it at first hand. Furthermore, he writes with charm and distinction: his book never fails, before all else, to interest. Gordon Craig, Max Reinhardt, Bakst, and the Russian Ballet; Shaw, Galsworthy, the German, French and American contemporary drama; David Belasco, the influence of the Greek theatre, the newest mechanical and architectural developments in the theatre—all these and others are in Mr. Cheney’s dozen brilliant chapters. Numerous interesting illustrations add to the value of his book and make it one that no lover of the theatre can afford to be without.
