Vaughn Moody's "The Great Divide." These are all representative plays by
American dramatists for some future anthologist, when present editions
become rare.

But here are offered plays that will enrich the American dramatic
library because of their rarity, and for that reason others have been
excluded, which are easily procurable in print.

Through the courteous co-operation of Dr. Fred W. Atkinson, Professor
Brander Matthews, officials of the New York Public Library, The Library
Society of Philadelphia, Mr. Robert Gould Shaw, Custodian of the
Dramatic Collection of Harvard College Library, and through the generous
response of the owners of copyrights and manuscripts, the present volume
is made possible. The Editor, through every phase of his work, has had
the unswerving encouragement and assistance of his wife.
