Excerpt from Possession: With the Groove, the Unborn, Circles, a Good Woman, the Black Tie, One-Act Plays of Contemporary Life
Speaking for such workers I have suggested in my preface to N owadays the value Of play publica tion: not as a substitute for production but as an alternative for those whose dramas may offer little attraction to the manager because of theme or treat ment. Through publication the dramatist thus gains a certain audience otherwise denied him, and time, too, may bring him the production which each play must have to make it a vital living expression. It has been this thought - which contains no criticism of the many excellent plays that win an easy way to the footlights as well as the limited opportunities afiorded the one act play in America, which has impelled me to ofier another volume to a reading public already generous to my earlier efforts.
