Summary

1919. From the Introduction: The Harvard Dramatic Club before the War brought a pause of two years in its activities, had for some ten years produced annually as part of its activity three or four one-act plays. The four new selections from its repertory of one-act pieces included in this volume can hardly require any special introduction, for the history of the Harvard Dramatic Club was given in the prefatory matter to the volume of one-act plays of this Club published in 1918, and the reception by the public of the four plays therein contained shows that they were welcome to readers and amateur acting organizations. The plays here printed have not been chosen as the only remaining four sufficiently worthy, for there are others any editor would be glad to see published in a volume like this, but as a group which perhaps gives the volume best variety and balance. The editor's hope is that they may please their public as well as did the first group of Harvard Dramatic Club plays. Contains: The Harbor of Lost Ships, by Louise Whitefield Bray; Garafelia's Husband, by Esther Willard Bates; The Scales and the Sword, by Farnham Bishop; and The Four-Flushers, by Cleves Kinkead.
