Springfield Republican:  “‘The Prince d’Aurec’ is one of his best and most representative plays.  It is a fine character creation....  ‘The Pardon’ must draw admiration for its remarkable technical efficiency....  ‘The Other Danger’ is a work of remarkable craftsmanship.”

New York Times:  “...  Mr. Middleton’s outlook on life, his conceptions of the relations of men and women to each other and to society is a fine one, generous and tolerant, but not sentimental....  No one else is doing his kind of work and his books should not be missed by readers looking for a striking presentation of the stuff that life is made of.”

PROF.  WILLIAM LYON PHELPS, of Yale:  “The plays are admirable; the conversations have the true style of human speech, and show first-rate economy of words, every syllable advancing the plot.  The little dramas are full of cerebration, and I shall recommend them in my public lectures.”

TRADITION

With ON BAIL, MOTHERS, WAITING, THEIR WIFE, and THE CHEAT OF PITY.  One-act American Plays. $1.35 net.

CLAYTON HAMILTON, in The Bookman:  “Admirable in technique; soundly constructed and written in natural and lucid dialogue.  He reveals at every point the aptness of the practiced playwright.  It is most impressive that Mr. Middleton has successfully broken ground, as a pioneer among us, in the general cause of the composition of the one-act play.”

NOWADAYS

A three-act comedy of American life. $1.20 net.

The Nation:  “Without a shock or a thrill in it, but steadily interesting and entirely human.  All the characters are depicted with fidelity and consistency; the dialogue is good and the plot logical.”
