terror and a sense of mystery. _Ibid._ +Edith M.O. Ellis (Mrs. Havelock Ellis)+ THE SUBJECTION OF KEZIA: Joe Pengilly, a Cornish villager, is finally convinced that strong measures toward her subjection are alone capable of keeping his wife's love, and buys a stout cane. We learn how he fared in carrying these measures out. In _Love in Danger_, Houghton Mifflin. +St. John Ervine+ FOUR IRISH PLAYS: MIXED MARRIAGE: A tragedy of the violent hatreds of Ulster. Maunsell. THE ORANGEMAN: A comic study of the petty madness of the same hatreds. Maunsell. THE CRITICS: Dramatic critics furiously condemn a play at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. Gradually we discover the idea of the play through their abuse, and at last we recognize it. Maunsell. JANE CLEGG: A strong and clear-sighted, honest woman has to deal with a feeble and braggart husband whose foolish crime threatens to wreck her own and her children's lives. Sidgwick and Jackson. +Rachel Lyman Field+ THREE PILLS IN A BOTTLE: Fantastic play of a little sick boy who gives the medicine that was to have made him strong to feeding the starved and abused souls of various passers-by. In _Plays of the 47 Workshop_, First Series, Brentano's. +Anatole France+ THE MAN WHO MARRIED A DUMB WIFE: A mad and comic farce, in the tradition of _Pierre Patelin_ and _The Physician in Spite of Himself_. Judge Botal calls in a learned physician and his aides to make his dumb wife speak. The result is so astoundingly successful that he pleads for relief. Finally a desperate remedy is found. Translated by Curtis Hidden Page, Lane, 1915. +J.O. Francis+ CHANGE: The tragic conflict of ideals of two generations which have grown irreparably apart in social and economic views. Educational Publishing Company, Cardiff; Doubleday, New York. +Zona Gale+ THE NEIGHBORS: Kindliness called forth among village people to aid a poor seamstress who is to undertake the care of her orphan nephew. In _Wisconsin Plays, First Series_, B.W. Huebsch. MISS LULU BETT: A starved life blossoms suddenly and unexpectedly. This play, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for 1920, is stronger and finer work than the author has done heretofore. Appleton (in novel form). +John Galsworthy+ THE ELDEST SON: Sir William Cheshire comes to quite different solutions of similar problems when different individual and class factors enter into them. Scribner's.
