A new edition of The Green Pastures, by Marc Connelly

(Farrar and Rinehart, Os.) appears, illustrated by R. E. Jones, who did the settings for the New York productiOn. The illustrations add greatly to the already great attraction of this childlike yet not childish masterpiece, and succeed in being in keeping both with the play and, more remarkably, with the Old Testament. The British edition, of course, was published by Messrs. Gollancz.
