Book Description

Excerpt from The Jewel Merchants: A Comedy in One Act And candor compels the admission forthwith that the presence of this anchoritic merit in the wilderness is hardly due to me. When circum stances and the Little Theatre League of Rich mond combined to bully me into contriving the dramatization of a short story called Balthazar's Daughter, I docilely converted this tale into a one act play of which you will find hereinafter no sentence. The comedy I wrote is now at one with the lost dramaturgy Of Pollio and of Posidippus, and is even less likely ever to be resurrected for mortal auditors.
