BEULAH MARIE DIX'S

ALLISON'S LAD AND OTHER MARTIAL INTERLUDES

By the co-author of the play, "The Road to Yesterday," and author of the
novels, "The Making of Christopher Ferringham," "Blount of Breckenlow,"
etc. 12mo. $1.35 net; by mail, $1.45.

_Allison's Lad_, _The Hundredth Trick_, _The Weakest Link_, _The Snare and
the Fowler_, _The Captain of the Gate_, _The Dark of the Dawn._

These one-act plays, despite their impressiveness, are perfectly
practicable for performance by clever amateurs; at the same time they make
decidedly interesting reading.

Six stirring war episodes. Five of them occur at night, and most of them in
the dread pause before some mighty conflict. Three are placed in
Cromwellian days (two in Ireland and one in England), one is at the close
of the French Revolution, another at the time of the Hundred Years' War,
and the last during the Thirty Years' War. The author has most ingeniously
managed to give the feeling of big events, though employing but few
players. The emotional grip is strong, even tragic.

Courage, vengeance, devotion, and tenderness to the weak, are among the
emotions effectively displayed.

"The technical mastery of Miss Dix is great, but her spiritual
mastery is greater. For this book lives in memory, and the
spirit of its teachings is, in a most intimate sense, the spirit
of its teacher.... Noble passion holding the balance between
life and death is the motif sharply outlined and vigorously
portrayed. In each interlude the author has seized upon a vital
situation and has massed all her forces so as to enhance its
significance."--_Boston Transcript._ (Entire notice
