Excerpt from Embers: With the Failures, the Gargoyle, in His House, Madonna, the Man Masterful; One-Act Plays of Contemporary Life
These little plays were written for acting, but arranged for reading. Knowing how small an oppor tunity the professional stage in this country gives for the serious one-act drama so common on the Continent, they are modestly offered to those who see some dignity in the form, and who realize that certain dramatic ideas find their best expression in the concentrated episode. The growing demand, also, among readers for plays has encouraged the author to write these, and their unexpected publication in the magazines has prompted him to bring them together.
