THREE GREAT MASTERPIECE CES
OF MODERN SPANISH DRAMA

So many Of the foreign plays which
find their way, in translated form to this
country belong to the type generally
known as erotic, and are interesting
only from the angle o. oddity. or in a
comparative sense with the better known
English works. that it is q great relief
to find volume of solid substantial
plays, all Of them actable, tinged with
literary favor and still robustly practi-
cable.
Such q volume is the new edition of
Masterpieces of Modern Spanish
Drama" edited by Barrett H. Clarx
(Stewart Kidd Company. which con.
tains three plays. The Great Galeoto,"
By Jose Echegaray; The Duchess Of
San Quentin" by Benito Perez .Galdos.
and ''Daniela,' by Angel Guimera.
A new preface has been added by Mr..
Clark In which he comments on the fact
that since 1917. when the first edition
appeared, another of the authors rep.
resented (GaldOs) has died. and the
entire dramatic epoch. Of which these
three dramatists were a part, has be-
come thing, not OF the present, but
Of the past.
He points out quite rightly. however.
that while the word modern, in one
sense, no longer applies. there Is no
reason why these three men. who "toox
up arms in the great dramatic movement
throughout Europe that followed close
upon the heels of ''Ibsen' should be
doomed to oblivion ~'
The reader of the present volume fully
concurs with the editor in this belief
when he has finished these finished and
polished plays. They belong. not -
Spain alone. nor to any one period. but
to the dramatic history Of all time and
of all nations.
