ELIZABETH R. HUNT
Cloth. $1.50 net. Postage, 12c.
Those who recognize the esthetic and social values of the acted drama, and are
willing to be at reasonable pains to grasp its structure and methods of appeal,
so that they may meet good plays halfway when they are presented in the
theatre, will welcome this work.
The book is not only for the student in class or club work, but is also addressed,
more directly than any similar work, to all theatre-goers, students or otherwise.
Much of the work, as it has appeared from time to time, has been pronounced
helpful by playwrights whose opinion is of value.
MARCH PUBLICATIONS
THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE. By Joseph Turquan, author of “The Love
Affairs of Napoleon,” “The Wife of General Bonaparte,” etc. ‘‘The Empress Josephine” con-
tinues and completes the graphically-drawn life-story begun in “The Wife of General
Bonaparte” by the same author, takes us through the brilliant period of the Empire, shows us
the gradual development and the execution of the Emperor’s plan to divorce his middle-aged wife,
and paints in vivid colors the picture of Josephine’s existence after her divorce. The story of her
last illness and death forms one of the most interesting chapters in this most complete work upon
the first Empress of the French. Illustrated. $3.50 net. Postage, 20 cents.
STELLA MARIS. By William J. Locke. Mr. Locke’s astonishing fertility of
invention has never yet been seen to so great advantage as in this story. It has all the pictur-
esque bravery of ‘‘The Beloved Vagabond,” all the tender sentiment of “Marcus Ordeyne,” all
the quixotic spirit of “The Glory of Clementina.” And yet it is like none of these. From the
first page the reader falls under a spell. This is Mr. Locke’s finest achievement.
Illustrations by Frank Wiles. $1.35 net. Postage, 12 cents.
THE MAN WHO WOULD NOT BE KING. By Sidney Dark. Mr. Sidney
Dark is a well-known literary critic. His experience in the world of letters has enabled him to
write a most amusing book. He says: “The adventures of a square peg in a round hole are
always delightful, except perhaps, to the square peg. So I start to relate the life of Fennimore
Slavington, who had greatness thrust upon him much against his will and much to the discomfort
of himself and many others.” $1.25 net. Postage, 12 cents.
HANDS UP. By Frederick Niven, author of “The Lost Cabin Mine,” etc.
A story of Western life. The hero of “The Lost Cabin Mine” continues his adventures through
these pages and his escapades are no less stirring and interesting than of yore.
$1.25 net. Postage, 12 cents.
DOWN THE MACKENZIE AND UP THE YUKON. By E. Stewart.
Mr. Stewart was former Inspector of Forestry to the Government of Canada and the experience
he thus gained supplemented by a really remarkable journey will prove of great value to those
who are interested in the commercial growth of Canada. The latter portion of his book deals
with the various peoples, animals, industries, etc. of the Dominion; while the journey he accom-
plished provides excellent reading in Part I. Some of the difficulties he encountered appeared
insurmountable, and a description of his perilous voyage in a native canoe with Indians is quite
haunting. There are many interesting illustrations of the places of which he writes.

ST. BRENDAN, THE NAVIGATOR’S MEDAL
(OBVERSE), BY J. MOWBRAY CLARK
1ITTLE SCULPTURES FOR THE.
LIBRARY
BY CHARLES DE KAY
Starting with a charter membership of
some five hundred men and women who
are alive to the beauty of small sculptures-
in the round, and especially to high and
low reliefs, a new gathering of art lovers-
has appeared in New York and spread to
other cities; they call themselves Friends
of the Medallion. Neither a club nor a
league nor a society in the ordinary accep-
tation of the terms, by calling itself a
Circle it implies a hope that from a modest
beginning it may extend its influence in all
directions, like the widening circle a stone
makes when it plumps into still water.
Foreign analogues to the Circle of
Friends of the Medallion are societies in
Vienna and Brussels; also the lovers of
small sculpture in Paris, who called them-
selves formerly Les Amis de la Medaille
Francaise. The object of such organiza-
tions is to offer small and beautiful modern
pieces of sculpture at near-to-cost prices to
their members, who are artists, lovers of
art and collectors of coins and medals.
Art, not numismatics, is the aim of such
societies. By calling attention to beauty
in the sculpture of small things, by accus-
toming the eye to scrutinize lovingly sculp-
ture on a small scale which can be kept in
the household or even carried on the per-
son, they hope to lead laymen as well as
painters and architects to the point when
they will understand the beauty of sculp-
ture in the large, and thus enlist helpers
for the struggle which goes on in all big
cities to prevent public buildings and
squares from being peopled with ugly
monuments.
