This makes it possible to study the play in advance, enhancing the in terest of its acted interpretation. Where the book follows the stage pro- duction, no interest is lost because the reader can then follow the lines more closely and more fully enjoy its value. Much of the literary quality of a play is lost in its acting, and this defect may be remedied by a perusal of the printed pages.
