Small loss to lower right corner of first issue (not affecting text); the other issues in fine condition, in protective mylar.

With theoretical essays and manifestos by F. X. ?alda, Jan Barto?, E. F. Burian, Arno?t Dvo?ák, Karel Teige, Ji?í Karásek ze Lvovic, Vít?zslav Nezval; poetry by Halas and Hora; excerpts of plays by Nezval, Barto?, Alfred Jarry, and others. Also contains shorter glosses about cultural events related to theatre. With drawings by Toyen, Jaroslav Král, Franti?ek Muzika, and Arch. Heythum and appealing, understated typographic design throughout, to both front and rear wrappers.
