Whether it is a story you have seen presented before, or something brand new that you have only just heard about, there is nothing like attending a live performance. Louis Kronenberger's The Best Plays of 1921-22 endeavours to capture the excitement of a theatre season that passed nearly one hundred years ago. It must be said that the utility of this book is greatly altered by the time period in which one is reading it. For those who came upon this collection in 1922 or 1923, there would be have been tremendous value in the reviews that are provided. The author has attempted to select the "best" plays, which is to say plays highlighted in this collection were both heralded for their artistic merit as well as being popular enough to garner fans. Readers could then have made an educated decision on which plays were worth seeing in the coming year. For the contemporary reader, the true value of The Best Plays of 1921-22 is the historical snapshot the book provides. The introductory pages highlight the record breaking theatrical season of 1921, and the author takes a month-by-month approach in describing the major releases. Certain trends are noted and predictions are made for coming years, some of which proved rather prescient. The book highlights ten specific plays, including a summary of the plot and selections of the dialogue. "A Bill of Divorcement" and "The Circle" are amongst the ten plays detailed, both of which went on to become significant theatrical presentations. The Best Plays of 1921-22 is an interesting read for any theatre enthusiast, particularly for one with knowledge of the plays discussed or one seeking to expand their historical compass.

Download or read book The Best Plays of 1920 1921 Classic Reprint written by John Arthur Chapman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume in a series on the best plays in America, The Best Plays of 1920-1921 showcases the ten best plays of that year. While edited by Burns Mantle, the content of the book is written by the infamous John Arthur Chapman who was nicknamed "Old Frostface" by the press and given the term of endearment: "the curmudgeon" by his peers. Even though his career began in Denver, Colorado; Chapman joined the New York Daily News in 1920 and spent most of his career working as a theater critic. The Best Plays of 1920-1921 begins by exploring both New York and Chicago as the epicenters for locating the best plays in America. Determining which ten would be awarded the status of best plays is no simple task, but with much exposition and no small power of elimination, Chapman narrows the list to "Debrau" by Sacha Guitry; "The First Year" by Frank Craven; "Enter Madame" by Gilda Varesi and Dolly Byrne; "The Green Goddess" by William Archer; "Liliom" by Franz Molnar; "Mary Rose" by James M. Barrie; "Nice People" by Rachel Crothers; "The Bad Man" by Porter Emerson Browne; "The Emperor Jones" by Eugene G. O'Neill; and "The Skin Game" by John Galsworthy. In addition to exploring these plays, the volume also explores those timeless shows that have played over five hundred performances in New York, and the birth dates and birth places of prominent players in the theater. This comprehensive list of plays from the years 1920-1921 gives a glimpse into the world of entertainment during this period and a society that enjoyed theater as the highlight of entertainment.
