Excerpt from Wreckage: A Drama in Three Acts On the evening when the play was produced, I was invited to give an introductory talk on the subject of the drug-habit to the members of the Lambs' Club. This I did, and I predicted at that time that, on account of the fine handling of the subject by the author, we should certainly hear more of this work. I told Mr. Manners that he must not stop there, that he should take up the subject in a broader and more thorough going way. From time to time after this we came to gether and discussed the matter and all its possibilities. This drama in three acts, bearing the original title of the play produced at the Lambs' Club gam-bol, is the result. The work comes at the right moment. The subject is of the greatest sociological import and interest at the present time, and the play takes up in a most vivid and practical way the fundamental psychology of the drug - habit. Every drug-taker, every one interested in any person who takes drugs, every physician, every one concerned in the social welfare of the country, every legislator, every one in the State or Government service, every member of every Board of Health should read this mov ing drama plucked from the heart of our modern social body. I trust it will find its way into every public library and that preachers and teachers and all those coming into contact with the drug-problem in any of its phases will acquaint themselves with the facts here so strikingly brought out.
