Shouts and Murmurs. By 'Alexander Woollcott. (Leonard Parsons. 8s. 6d.)

Impressions of an American dramatic critic. Contains a new and excellent story about Beerbohm Tree. Albert Samain (not Semain), author of Polyphime, is not considered quite so obscure as Mr. Woollcott seems to think ; he has, at any rate, a European reputation.
