Mr. PERCY MACKAYE
Jeanne d’Arc
“A series of scenes animated at times by a sure, direct, and simple poetry, again by the militant fire, and finally by the bitter pathos of the most moving, perhaps the most beautiful, and certainly the most inexplicable story in profane history.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
“A singularly fresh, buoyant treatment of an old subject, Mr. Mackaye’s ‘Jeanne d’Arc’ contains less pageantry and more spirituality than any of the plays about the Maid since Schiller.”—Record-Herald, Chicago.
Fenris the Wolf
“A drama that shows triple greatness. There is the supreme beauty of poetry, the perfect sense of dramatic proportion, and nobility of purpose. It is a work to dream over, to make one see glorious pictures,—a work to uplift to soul heights through its marvellously wrought sense appeal.”—Examiner.
The Canterbury Pilgrims
“This is a comedy in four acts,—a comedy in the higher and better meaning of the term. It is an original conception worked out with a rare degree of freshness and buoyancy, and it may honestly be called a play of unusual interest and unusual literary merit.... The drama might well be called a character portrait of Chaucer, for it shows him forth with keen discernment, a captivating figure among men, an intensely human, vigorous, kindly man.... It is a moving, vigorous play in action. Things go rapidly and happily, and, while there are many passages of real poetry, the book is essentially a drama.”—St. Paul Dispatch.
