Stewart Kidd Modern Plays
Edited by FRANK SHAY
To meet the immensely increased demands of the play-reading public and those interested in the modern drama, Stewart Kidd are issuing under the general editorship of Frank Shay a series of plays from the pens of the world’s best contemporary writers. No effort is being spared to secure the best work available, and the plays are issued in a form that is at once attractive to readers and suited to the needs of the performer and producer. Buffalo Express: “Each play is of merit. Each is unlike the other. The group furnishes a striking example of the realistic trend of the modern drama.”
