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 observation.
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.
