Excerpt from The Meccas of the World: The Play of Modern Life in New York, Paris, Vienna, Madrid and London

A play is in so much as it furnishes a fragment of actual life. Being only a fragment, and thus literally torn out of the mass of life, it is bound to be sketchy; to a certain extent even superficial. Particularly is this the case where the scene shifts between five places radically different in elements and ideals. The author can only present the (to him) most impressive aspects of the several pictures, trusting to his sincerity to bridge the gaps his enforced brevity must create. And first he invites you to look at the piece in rehearsal.
