THE CURTAIN FALLS
REPRESENTATIVE PLAYS BY WELL-KNOWN PLAYWRIGHTS
By MR. CLYDE FITCH Each 75c. net (postage 6c.)
The Climbers
A keen satire on contemporary
New York society, which explains its
title 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.

“The occasional

is plausible and comic, and its dialogue is
witty.”
