moment, and they look at each other, unable to speak,--then she goes on
slowly, almost fearfully, till she reaches him._
DICK. [_Moving to her._] Georgy!
[_He stands before her with both arms bandaged in a sling._
GEORGIANA. [_Whispers._] Dick! [_Looks him straight in the eyes--he
looks back. She cries out._] Dick!

DICK. Georgy! [_He looks down at his arms._] My arms--I can't--

THE CURTAIN FALLS
REPRESENTATIVE PLAYS BY WELL-KNOWN PLAYWRIGHTS
By MR. CLYDE FITCH
Each 75c. net (postage 6c.)
The Climbers
A keen satire on contemporary New York society, which explains its
title thus:--
"There are social climbers, but wealth is as good a goal. I was a
climber after wealth and everything it brings."
"And I after happiness and all it brings."--_Act II._
The Girl with the Green Eyes
A study of the jealous temperament. The play is full of touches of
a remarkable intuition, and the heroine's character is portrayed
with rare delicacy.
The Toast of the Town
A comedy dealing with the life of an actress in the period of
George III., and with the tragedy of middle age.
Her Own Way
and
The Stubbornness of Geraldine
are two original American plays, ingenious and novel in their
employment of pictorial devices. These plays are funds of
delightful sentiment, unhackneyed, piquant humor, and minute
observation.
For the faithfulness of his chronicles of American life Mr. Fitch
is to be ranked with Mr. Henry Arthur Jones in the English field,
and with the best of the modern French dramatists on the Continent.

The Manoeuvres of Jane
An Original Comedy in Four Acts.
"The occasional publication of a play by Henry Arthur Jones is a
matter for congratulation.... In 'The Manoeuvres of Jane' we see
Mr. Jones in his most sprightly mood and at the height of his
ingenuity; ... its plot is plausible and comic, and its dialogue is
witty."
_The Transcript_ (Boston).
Mrs. Dane's Defence
A Play in Four Acts.
