Excerpt from Short Plays Some are born dramatists - like Shakespeare, some achieve dramatic construction - like Ibsen, some have drama thrust upon them - like me. I did not lisp in numbers, for the numbers came, but rather I was locked up alone in a room with a crust of bread and a tincup of water and commanded to write a drama that could be produced by five or six women in forty-five minutes without scenery on a stage as big as a good-sized book. The process was repeated at intervals throughout the last few years and this little collection of plays is the result. With the exception of The Gate of Wishes they have all been presented by the Cincinnati College Club or the Cincinnati Woman's Club and otherwise and elsewhere. The Gate of Wishes was first published in Poet Lore, A Fan and a Pair of Candlesticks came out in the College Club edition of the Club Woman's Magazine, and The Shadowed Star was published separately by the Consumers' League. The songs in The Rose and Entr' Acte were set to music by Mr. Sidney C. Durst and may be obtained from me at any time. For the dance in Entr' Acte the music we used was Espanita. The de scriptions, stage-settings, directions, and so on throughout the plays are as I have seen them in my imagination, but may be changed according to the exigencies of any private performance. No one knows these exigencies better than I. Andif any one wishes to have Ralph's eyes green ih stead of brown, or Peter Dodsley' s cloak sky blue, or the scene of' A Woman's a Woman out on the lawn, or to alter an unprepossessing speech why, he has the whole universe to choose from, and my blessing.
