Excerpt from Tradition: With on Bail, Their Wife, Waiting, the Cheat of Pity, and Mothers; One-Act Plays of Contemporary Life
Small audience, they have been arranged for easy reading by the elimination of technical stage language. To read a play one must visualize it; therefore, what directions there are have been pointed for the reader so that the moods and motives, which the actors would otherwise convey, may be indicated. The author believes that a dramatist, as far as possible, should be impersonal; though, nat urally, he is responsible for the themes - which may be specialized and thus deductively suggest the tendency of his outlook - still, he assumes the right to ask that the philosophy or action of the drama be judged solely from the standpoint of the characters who express it.
