This article critically appraises the book "Social Plays of Arthur Wing Pinero," edited by Clayton Hamilton. This handsome definitive edition of the principal social plays of Arthur Wing Pinero will be indispensable to every well-selected modern dramatic library. The prefaces by Hamilton are cleverly written with an enthusiastic appreciation, which does full justice and, possibly, a little more than justice, to his subject. Of the outstanding ability of Pinero--to avoid the much-abused word "genius"--or of the prominent part that he has played in improving the artistic and technical standards of the modern drama, in some but not all of its imaginable phases, there can be no question.
