- "500 copies printed for the Bohemian Club"--Harlan.
- "'The Play's the Thing' was written for the Bohemian Club in 1935 and has been re-enacted several times since. 'Christmas Eve at the Mermaid' ... was the Club's Christmas Play of 1940 and was repeated as the Christmas Play of 1959. 'What's in a Name' was composed and produced at the Club in 1961. All these short plays have Shakespearean themes and, by coincidence, Hamlet's soliloquy is featured in each of them ..."--Foreword.
