Excerpt from Representative Plays by American Dramatists When I came to a consideration of the modern section, there were many omissions which had to be made, due very largely to the fact that authors and owners of copyright were loath to forego their rights. A collection of this kind should undoubtedly have the name of James A. Herne represented in its contents, inasmuch as none of Mr. Herne's plays have heretofore been published, and two of his most distinctive dramas in original manuscript, Mar garet Fleming and Griffith Davenport, have been totally de stroyed by fire. But representatives of Mr. Herne's family have declined, at the present time, to allow his plays to be published. This is to be regretted, inasmuch as nearly all of the most prom inent American playwrights are represented, either in the publi cation of isolated plays or in definitive editions. I should have liked to end this collection with the inclusion of Mr. Eugene Walter's The Easiest Way; at the present time, that play, which was' once issued in an edition privately printed, is to be found in the Drama League Series of plays.
