Notes:

"Copyright, 1921 Stewart & Kidd Company."

"These ten are not the best plays ever written; but they are written in a pure spirit; they sprang from an attempt made by a group of men and women to express something sincerely, with no regard for fame, money, or power - and whatever they have of value is due to that."--p. 6.

Green textured cloth boards lettered and ruled in gilt.
