Book Description
Excerpt from The Pillars of Society: A Play in Four Acts As regards technique this play is a triumph for the author. It is planned and executed with extraordinary ability. The dramatic structure soars aloft from firm foundations, stone is laid on stone with unfaltering precision, unwearying care, the mortising is admirably exact. There is not a super fluons speech, scarcely a wasted word; and it is not through unnatural soliloquies or tedious expositions that the dramatic web is unrolled before the audience, but through natural and easy conversations, which from the first seize the attention, and continuously work up the interest until' the catastrophe is reached.
