This article focuses on the play "Macro Millions," written by Eugene O'Neill. Its theme— the soul-destroying force of that characteristic Western extraversion which reaches its ultimate development in the apotheosis of the commercial spirit— is one which a whole school of contemporary satirists has made traditional. Since the text of this play is already well known through previous publication, it is perhaps unnecessary to speak further of it except in order to add that though it is not the most powerful of its author's plays it has a purity of outline and a delicacy of execution equaled by none of the others.
