A Very Good copy. A work of drama criticism presented as a collection of essays. Authored by Clayton Hamilton (1881-1946), an American drama critic and editor.

The following are the titles of the essays herein: "Contrast in the Drama," "Building a Play Backward," "The Point of View," "Surprise in the Drama," "The Troublesome Last Act," "Strategy and Tactics," "Proportion in the Drama," "Harmony in Presentation," "High Comedy in America," "The George M. Cohan School of Playwrights," "Youth and Age in Drama," "Yvette Guilbert--Premiere Diseuse," "The Loveliness of Little Things," "The Magic of Mr. Chesterton," "Middle Class Opinion," "Criticism and Creation in the Drama," "A Kiss for Cinderella," "Dramatic Talent and Theatrical Talent," "Stevenson on the Stage," "The Plays of Lord Dunsany," "The Mood of Maeterlinck," "Euripides in New York," "Romance and Realism in the Drama," "Scenic Settings in America," "The New Stagecraft," "The Long Run in the Theatre," "The Non-commercial Drama," "The Public and the Theatre," "A Democratic Insurrection in the Theatre," "Literature and the Drama," "A Scheme for a Stock Company," and "What Is Wrong with the American Drama?".
