"Foreword, by Will Geer": p. [4]

"Here, in the second edition of New Theatre League's 'Skits and Sketches,' is the best material of the current season. It is published with the certainty that its contents will benliven many a union meeting and progressive rally, and that it will serve as an additional source of inspiration for the building of the labor and people's theatres which are already pushing their sturdy heads up though the American soil across the continent."--Foreword.
