The secret of life?
He gives it to her, she gives it to him...
But who shall tell of it? Who shall know it?
Here we offer The Provincetown Plays, edited by George Cram Cook and Frank Shay, a collection of one-act plays from the zenith of American radical politics in the period leading up to the World War, labor strife, and women's suffrage; plays written for the Provincetown Players, an innovative collective of artists, writers, and intellectuals based first in a wharf in Provincetown, Massachusettes, and later in Greenwich Village, NYC; published by Stewart Kidd Company, Cincinnati, in 1921. The collection features an introductory salute to the youthful spirit of the players with reference to the recent death of John Reed, a notable member. The collection features plays by Edna St. Vincent Millay, Eugene O'Neill, Susan Glaspell, and Floyd Dell, among others. Other notable members of the Provincetown Players were Mary Heaton Vorse, Louise Bryant, Djuna Barnes, Theodore Dreiser, Max Eastman, Robert Edmond Jones, Wallace Stevens, Marjory Lacey-Barker, Cleon Throckmorton, and Charles Demuth.
