"Copyright, 1918, by B. W. Huebsch."

"The plays chosen for inclusion in this volume are arranged in chronological order. 'Isaac Sheftel' ... was suggested to the dramatist by the strange figure of a Warsaw workingman who was gifted with inventive talent, yet sold his contrivances to this employer for a mere pittance in order always to be near his beloved brain children ... 'The Last Jew,' known in Yiddish and in other tongues as The Swic Family ... The play has been given in Berlin, at the Schiller Theater, in a German translation. It has been translated into Hebrew, and in the Yiddish original has already gone through thirteen editions ... 'The Dumb Messiah' was composed in four days ..."--Introduction.
