The article focuses on the war plays. The first play to pay the tribute of contemptuous recognition to the pacifist is "An American Ace," by L.J. Carter, a crude and noisy melodrama. More reputable and genuinely American contributions to the war drama were two interesting one-act plays, "Efficiency," at the Greenwich Village Theatre, in which B.H. Davis and P.P. Sheehan satirize the spirit of militarism and "In the Zone," by Eugene O'Neill, with its scene laid in the forecastle of a munitions ship, produced by the Washington Square Players with full justice to its realism and dramatic quality.
