REPRESENTATIVE PLAYS
BY WELL-KNOWN PLAYWRIGHTS

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

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.
