McFadden AND Lilian E. Davis ■With an Introduction by LUDELLA L. PECK Professor of Elocution. Smith College CINCINNATI E. A. McFadden Box 328 1908 MW ^90/ Copyright 1908 EY E. A. McFADDEN Introduction A list of plays suitable for amateurs and students of dramatic expression in schools and colleges seems to me to meet a distinct need. There is a growing feeling in our educational institutions that dramatic study not only serves to afford pleasurable enter- tainment, but forms an important element in educa- tional discipline. There are few schools that do not give one or more plays each year, often devoting to them much serious study. During the past few years I have received fre- quent letters from teachers and superintendents of schools asking me to recommend plays suitable for their purpose. It is a difficult matter to give advice in individual cases, and involves a considerable amount of work: I welcome most heartily this systematized effort to give in compact form the information needed. I have carefully examined the Hst of plays here presented and I gladly give it my sincere commendation. LuDELLA L. Peck. Smith College, Northampton, Mass., September, igoy. Preface The list herewith offered is intended to be a "first aid" to the amateur actor and dramatic stu- dent : to suggest the various firms who pubhsh plays, to note some of their publications which seem to the compilers to be especially adapted to amateur standards, to collect the elusive but valuable material existing in manuscript form or published by the author, and to call to mind the beautiful dramatic poems by our standard authors which lie at hand in every library. The work of putting these poems into acting form is often one of the most interesting tasks of the presentation. The list makes no pretense at being compre- hensive. Whatever value it may possess lies rather in its exclusiveness. Any one seeking a large knowledge of the dramatic literature open to amateur >j players should secure the theatrical trade catalogues \t and the lists of the play-brokers who handle the -^ recent professional successes. These with a ' thorough searching of the classics, ancient and modern, and of the best magazines, will about cover the field. The excellent catalogues issued by the theatrical publishers and sent free to any address, render an extensive listing of the standard drama unnecessary. /Every play here entered has been read by one of the compilers, and a list of those read and dis- carded would fill a book many times the size of the 5 present volume. The basis of selection has been high moral tone, literary distinction and suitability for amateur production. The second of these qual- ities implies the last, since the chief good of amateur dramatics, as of all other amateur work, lies in its cultural value to the actor himself, and the lines which one tediously makes one's own should, if possible, be worth memorizing. Other attempts to meet the needs of the amateur play-giver may prove of interest and are here given : Burton, C. E. Selected Parlor Plays. (In his Burton's Amateur Actor. 1876. p. 142-9.)
