Book Description
Excerpt from The Militant God, and Some Sonnets, Verses, and Rhymes A drama does not require a preface. Aristotle puts it well for he says: A tragedy must be complete in itself. Lessing adds a bit in his Dramatic Notes when he defiantly states in so many words: I can announce to an audience, my plot before the curtain arises and then those in the theatre should enjoy the play as well as if the story had not been told to them. Charles F rohman was unquestionably the Pericles, or the Elizabeth of modern times. The world knows Charles Frohman. However, that name was a trinity. There were three brothers and perhaps the greatest was the least known and the purity of soul of the entire organization really belonged to a woman, the wife of one of them. The writer once enjoyed the great privilege of being the Literary Manager and Play Reader for a Frohman. In that capacity the author read and analyzed more than fourteen hundred plays and in each, found, at least, the germ of a drama.
