Last of series of Flying Stag Plays for the Little Theatre published by Egmont Arens in Washington Square, New York City. Cover chipped and torn with name (W.R. Keyes); back cover detached and front nearly so; much writing and underlining inside. It appears this well-handled issue, which measures approx. 4 by 6 inches, was used in a production, as besides the name on the cover the notes inside list the names McComas, Becker, Wilkinson, Carlson, Lucas, Vickers and Dixon, with a notation of "K" next to the stage directions, which appears to have been the role of W.R. Keyes, whose name appears written on the cover. It appears this well-handled issue, which measures approx. 4 by 6 inches, was used in a production, as besides the name on the cover the notes inside list the names McComas, Becker, Wilkinson, Carlson, Lucas, Vickers and Dixon, with a notation of "K" next to the stage directions, which appears to have been the role of Keyes. The play was first performed at the Provincetown Players in 1919, and Arens' reprint of the text in 1920 and subsequent performances both amateur and professional across the country [of which this is a remnant of one, no doubt] made it  one of the most popular plays to originated at the Provincetown Playhouse.
