Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five One-Act Comedies Lawrence Langner, the author of these plays, is a typical American: he was born in Europe; and like all typical Americans, he is not happy outside New York. If he were a casual American, one who is American merely through accident of birth, he would probably prefer to spend his time in London or Paris, mugging-up European culture in the hope that some of it might stick to him, but since he is a typical American and has wished for Americanization instead of having it wished on him, he spends his time at the unfashionable end of Fifth Avenue, trying to develop a culture which derives, not from Europe, but from Cape Cod. He will not live to see an American culture which does not derive from the Old World, but at least he and the group, whose most interesting member is Mr. Eugene O'Neill, are doing much to make the way easier for a more definitely American culture to establish itself. There are obvious dangers which may overwhelm these pioneers, such as arrogance and argumentativeness and smugness and self-satisfaction and a disproportionate view of things and, above all, a tendency to imagine that the new and disorderly thing is better than the orderly and old; but if the pioneers have sound constitutions, they will survive them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five One Act Plays (Note. - The terms "Left" and "Right" in the stage directions refer to the spectator's left and right, not the actor's.) The scene is the sitting-room of a small house in a lower middle-class district of a provincial town. On the spectator's left is the window, with the blinds down. A sofa is in front of it. On his right is a fireplace with an armchair by it. In the middle of the wall facing the spectator is the door into the passage. To the left of the door a cheap, shabby chest of drawers, to the right a sideboard. In the middle of the room is the table, with chairs round it. Ornaments and a cheap American clock are on the mantelpiece, in the hearth a kettle. By the sideboard a pair of gaudy new carpet slippers. The table is partly laid for tea, and the necessaries for the meal are on the sideboard, as also are copies of an evening paper and of "Tit-Bils" and "Pearson's Weekly." Turning to the left through the door takes you to the front door; to the right, upstairs. In the passage a hat-stand is visible. When the curtain rises Mrs. Slater is seen laying the table. She is a vigorous, plump, red-faced vulgar woman, prepared to do any amount of straight talking to get her own way. She is in black, but not in complete mourning. She listens a moment and then goes to the window, opens it and calls into the street. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yankee Fantasies: Five One-Act Plays For under all the outward dunness of Yankee life, there burns dimly a kind of smothered rebellion against its own chill constraint: a rebellion which blazes up in color, rather than fire, in a variety of human species, of which such a nature as Margaret Fuller's, in Transcendental days, is suggestively an example.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mose and Josh: A Comedy in Five Acts This little dramatic venture has its history. In April 1890, the author saw in the New York Sunday World the offer of a prize for the best play by a native author - the successful playwright to have his effort put upon the stage of the Union Square Theatre, New York, in the best style. The time fixed for all competitors to have their works in to be judged by a committee was the 15th May. My time was very short; I wrote the play in eight days. It had only 324 competitors, and the award was to a young lady with a play entitled Will 0' the Wisp. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from False Premises: Five One Act Plays It is evening, and the Mother, having filled the teapot, sets it on the hob to brew and turns to light the lamp. Its dim rays, as it kindles, reveal more clearly the bare cottage interior where, though squalor is absent, comfort is reduced to a minimum. Even the table set for the meal has no cloth on it, the cups are brown earthenware, and the loaf of home-made bread lies without accompaniment on the bare board, a large bone-handled knife beside it. A cripple child, aged twelve or thereabouts, carrying a bundle of faggots hobbles across the room and lays them by the hearth; relieved of her load she stands for a moment to watch the lamp-lighting: then her eyes turn to the room's one adornment, a Christmas Tree decked with tinsel and candles which stands on a chest to the side of the window furthest from the hearth. Opposite the fire-place is the door: through the window one sees the grey deepening of the winter twilight which the lighting of the lamp has turned almost into darkness. Child. Shall I light the candles, Mother?... Mother, shall I light them? Mother. Yes, if you like. Draw the curtain though first! [The woman, slow to attend, speaks in a tone of patient weariness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contrast: A Comedy in Five Acts As The School for Scandal was in some sense a product of its time, so The Contrast, if read discerningly, throws a very interesting side light on the taste and manners of American soci ety in I 787, long before modern plays with their quick action and dialogue and their artistic scen cry, to say nothing of the breath-taking real ism of the moving-pictures, had worked their changes in the American theatre. There is no doubt it was a successful play at the time. It is difficult to visualize New York with a popala tion of about thirty thousand people, yet it was then, as it ever has been, the first city of the North American continent, and to fill its principal theatre with the best people of the city more than once was a strong endorsement for any pro duction.
