Excerpt from The Play of Man The present writer contributed a somewhat lengthy preface and also an appendix to the translation of the author's earlier volume, The Play of Animals, mainly because - apart from the expressed wish of Professor Groos - he wanted to say something about the book. It is a pleasure to him now to have the justification for it which comes from the adoption by Professor Groos in this volume of the suggestions made in the translation of the earlier one. The main points have all been accepted and used by the author (see pp. 265, 376, 395, of this volume, for example), and further discussions of them have been brought out. This is said in view of the opinion of many that "introductions" are always out of place. A notable thing about the present volume, considered in relation to the Play of Animals, is the modification of the theory of play as respects its criteria - a point fully explained by the author in his Introduction (see especially p. 5). The present writer's editorial function has been confined to the insertion of various notes, and the suggesting to the translator of certain renderings; both mainly of a terminological sort (see pp. 5, 122, 133, 264, for examples). In this connection it has been found possible to anticipate and follow the recommendations made in the present writer's Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology (now in press), seeing that Professor Groos is in active co-operation with the committee engaged upon the German-English equivalents of that work, in so far adopted here.

Excerpt from Arms and the Man: A Pleasant Play To the irreverent - and which of us will claim entire exemption from that comfortable classification? - there is something very amusing in the attitude of the orthodox criticism toward Bernard Shaw. He so obviously disregards all the canons and unities and other things which every well-bred dramatist is bound to respect that his work is really unworthy of serious criticism (orthodox). Indeed he knows no more about the dramatic art than, according to his own story in "The Man of Destiny," Napoleon at Tavazzano knew of the Art of War. But both men were successes each in his way - the latter won victories and the former gained audiences, in the very teeth of the accepted theories of war and the theatre. Shaw does not know that it is unpardonable sin to have his characters make long speeches at one another, apparently thinking that this embargo applies only to long speeches which consist mainly of bombast and rhetoric. There never was an author who showed less predilection for a specific medium by which to accomplish his results. He recognized, early in his days, many things awry in the world and he assumed the task of mundane reformation with a confident spirit. It seems such a small job at twenty to set the times aright. He began as an Essayist, but who reads essays now-a-days? - he then turned novelist with no better success, for no one would read such preposterous stuff as he chose to emit. He only succeeded in proving that absolutely rational men and women - although he has created few of the latter - can be most extremely disagreeable to our conventional way of thinking.

Excerpt from The Man Within: A Play of Napoleon, in Four Acts That he was very human and in many ways just like most of us is known to few.

Excerpt from A Treasury of Plays for Men The present collection of one-act plays is planned as a com panion volume to A Treasury of Plays for Women. The conditions and difficulties of preparation were much the same and the result is analogous. One cannot desexualize the drama and feel that he has contributed to its welfare. The two collections fill definite needs and as such were com piled. The strongest declaration to be made in their favor is that it is the earnest belief of the Editor to be the best each field affords. If women's clubs and men's clubs desire material which will help them make an evening or a series of evenings more enjoyable and attractive, they will find such material here.

Excerpt from The Play and the Player The old man raised his head to see What soul was bent on charity And with a feeble voice he spoke Oh God, your blessing l invoke, Upon this youth, his noble gift, Shall from my heart, a burden lift. Oh I had thought that all were blind To the pangs, and the woes, of a wretch like me; But now I know we still can find, One heart that is moved by pure sympathy.
