THE HE Globe Theatre was built in Southwark, London, in 1599 by Richard Burbadge. In it most of Shakespeare's plays were first performed, and the line about "this wooden O," in the opening chorus of Henry V, probably refers to the round shape of the play-house. It was burned in 1613, and replaced on the same site by the second Globe Theatre. This view is thought to represent the second Globe. THIS NUMBER CONTAINS: I. PLAYS OF THIRTEEN COUNTRIES II. NEW Books PLAYS OF THIRTEEN COUNTRIES PLAYS are rec in demand at all the Branches of The New York Public Library, and there is no need to ommend them to many of the readers. Others, however, will be glad to see the list printed on the opposite page. It was prepared through the kindness of members of the Drama League of America. Its appearance in the Branch Library News represents one of the efforts of The New York Public Library to aid the Drama League in its work, and to make the best and most readable plays available for use. The reader of a play frequently has no expectation of witnessing it on the stage. Sometimes, however, he reads it in advance of seeing its performance. And very often he enjoys reading it after he has seen it acted. In any case there is pleasure and intellectual stimulation in the book itself. Many theatre-goers and readers of plays find that they increase their enjoyment and understanding of the playwright's and actor's arts by a study and discussion of various plays. In some cases they have formed Drama League Centres for such discussion. Perhaps one of these Centres already exists at the Branch Library you are accustomed to use. The librarians will tell you. They will also give you information, should you wish it, about the Drama League of America, - about its work, its terms of membership, and its publications. NEW BOOKS MAETERLINCK'S "The Unknown Guest" is one of the new books in a long and interesting list beginning on page 169. In it the famous Belgian discusses some of the topics which are usually described as "supernatural." Bacon's "Beauty for Ashes" is a woman's description of a long and finally successful fight for legislation looking toward better housing conditions. The author makes her topic as readable as it is important, in spite of the fact that her book has to be classified under the forbidding heading: "Sociology." General Bernhardi's two volumes, "Cavalry" and "On War of Today," will be in demand without any especial recommendation. It is important to notice that the latter is the complete version so far as it has appeared in English - of the book which has been published, since the beginning of the war, with the title "How Germany Makes War." In "Great Britain and the Next War" Sir Conan Doyle replied to another of General Bernhardi's works. Hurd's "The Fleets at War" is brief and convenient in size. Newbolt's "The Book of the Blue Sea" deals with naval and maritime adventures of the past. The Technology Division of the Library warmly commends "The American Handbook for Electrical Engineers," issued under the editorship of Harold Pender. Kenyon Cox's "Artist and Public" contains seven essays of general interest. Goodnow's "The Honest House" is a new and useful work on "home-building." "Coasting Bohemia" is a volume of reminiscences of literary and dramatic circles in London by J. Comyns Carr, the critic and dramatist. Professor Phelps of Yale is one of the best American essayists on literary subjects, and his "Essays on Books" is well worth attention. "The Congo," by N. V. Lindsay, is the newest book of a poet who is reviving the old customs of the bards who wandered over the country and sang their verses to the people. Mrs. Putnam's "Orthodoxy" is a lively satire upon hypocrisy, told in dramatic form. Lord Charles Beresford's breezy "Memoirs," Sears's "John Hay" and Mme. Hegermann-Lindencrone's "Sunny Side of Diplomatic Life" are three excellent works of a biographical nature. Lord Charles's book is full of rollicking anecdotes, the yarns of a sailor of the old school. Mme. Hegermann-Lindencrone's volume will be of interest to all readers, but especially to women. She is the American wife of a Danish diplomat, and her husband represented his country successively at Washington, Rome, Stockholm, Paris and Berlin. The social affairs and festivities of these capitals are described in the book. The books of travel are particularly enjoyable, and Arnold Bennett's "From the Log of the Velsa," Birmingham's "From Dublin to Chicago," Hartt's "Understanding the French," and Mrs. Stevenson's "Cruise of the Janet Nichol" are only four out of a list of over thirty. Among the novels, Mrs. Watts's "Rise of Jennie Cushing" deserves mention, not because it is her best work, for it is not that, but because it is from an author who in “Nathan Burke," very nearly wrote a great American novel, an author who gives every promise of notable contributions to American fiction.
