Excerpt from Representative One-Act Plays by Continental Authors: Selected, With Biographical Notes The Editor has tried to avoid duplication of material in other anthologies so far published, and he believes that, ex cept in a few instances, he has succeeded in using dramas that, though not entirely new, are novel and now brought together for the first time from unusual sources. They are all, so he believes, definitely representative of the best that has been written in the European one-act province, and in their variety illustrate the theater tendencies out of which they were given birth.
