Chapter X: Part 10

_Daily Telegraph._—“‘The Times’ is the best example yet given of Mr. Pinero’s power as a satirist. So clever is his work that it beats down opposition. So fascinating is his style that we cannot help listening to him.”

after J. MORDECAI. (Vol. II.)

Gerard Harry), and THE INTRUDER: A Drama in One Act. By MAURICE
MAETERLINCK. With an Introduction by HALL CAINE, and a Portrait of
the Author. Small 4to, cloth, 5_s._

_Athenæum._—“In the creation of the ‘atmosphere’ of the play M. Maeterlinck shows his skill. It is here that he communicates to us the _nouveau frisson_, here that he does what no one else has done. In ‘The Intruder’ the art consists of the subtle gradations of terror, the slow, creeping progress of the nightmare of apprehension. Nothing quite like it has been done before—not even by Poe—not even by Villiers.”

=THE FRUITS OF ENLIGHTENMENT=: A Comedy in Four Acts. By Count
LYOF TOLSTOY. Translated from the Russian by E. J. DILLON. With

_Times._—“The language in which this play is couched is a model of brevity, decision, and pointedness.... Every line tells, and there is not an incident that does not bear on the action immediate or remote. As a corrective to the vapid and foolish writing with which the stage is deluged ‘Hedda Gabler’ is perhaps entitled to the place of honour.”
