The Nigger: An American Play in Three Acts

By EDWARD SHELDON

Attractively bound in decorated cloth covers

Price, $1 25; postage extra

One of the most vivid and thrilling dramas that has appeared
in recent years Readers who did not see the play will welcome
this opportunity to become acquainted with a great work,
while those who were fortunate enough to witness a performance
may revive impressions and recollections at will in study
or reading room

"The Nigger" was one of the first plays to be produced in
the New Theatre, in New York, at which time the Boston
Transcript
said of it " `The Nigger' is a swift, plausible, cumulative,
and absorbing dramatic narrative that holds interest
unrelaxed, and awakes answering emotions . . The author
has keen and fine imagination that has often guided him truly
into insight in character Is exciting in suspense and goading
in climax."
