Edwin Arlington Robinson's comedy "Van Zorn" proved him to be one of the
most accomplished of the younger generation of American dramatists. Of
this play the 'Boston Transcript' said, "It is an effective presentation
of modern life in New York City, in which a poet shows his skill of
playwrighting... he brings to the American drama to-day a thing it
sadly lacks, and that is character." In manner and technique Mr.
Robinson's new play, "The Porcupine", recalls some of the work of Ibsen.
Written adroitly and with the literary cleverness exhibited in "Van
Zorn", it tells a story of a domestic entanglement in a dramatic fashion
well calculated to hold the reader's attention.
"Contains all of the qualities that are said to be conspicuously lacking
in American Drama."--'N. Y. Evening Sun'.
Van Zorn: A Comedy in Three Acts

Mr. Robinson is known as the leader of present-day American poets. In
this delightful play he tells with a biting humor the story of the
salvation of a soul. By clever arrangement of incident and skillful
characterization he arouses strongly the reader's curiosity, and the
suspense is admirably sustained. The dialogue is bright, and the
construction of the plot shows the work of one well versed in the
technique of the drama.
