THE CURTAIN FALLS
REPRESENTATIVE PLAYS BY WELL-KNOWN PLAYWRIGHTS
By MR. CLYDE FITCH
The Climbers A keen satire on contemporary New York society, which explains its t.i.tle thus:--
"There are social climbers, but wealth is as good a goal. I was a climber after wealth and everything it brings."
"And I after happiness and all it brings."--_Act II._
The Girl with the Green Eyes A study of the jealous temperament. The play is full of touches of a remarkable intuition, and the heroine's character is portrayed with rare delicacy.
The Toast of the Town A comedy dealing with the life of an actress in the period of George III., and with the tragedy of middle age.
Her Own Way and The Stubbornness of Geraldine are two original American plays, ingenious and novel in their employment of pictorial devices. These plays are funds of delightful sentiment, unhackneyed, piquant humor, and minute observation.
For the faithfulness of his chronicles of American life Mr. Fitch is to be ranked with Mr. Henry Arthur Jones in the English field, and with the best of the modern French dramatists on the Continent.
By HENRY ARTHUR JONES
The Manoeuvres of Jane An Original Comedy in Four Acts.
"The occasional publication of a play by Henry Arthur Jones is a matter for congratulation.... In 'The Manoeuvres of Jane' we see Mr. Jones in his most sprightly mood and at the height of his ingenuity; ... its plot is plausible and comic, and its dialogue is witty."
_The Transcript_ (Boston).

By MR. THOMAS HARDY
