Excerpt from The Provincetown Plays In the plays contained in this volume, and in others not published or published in previous col lections, there are touches that, to those Of us who can supply from our memories, reveal the spirit Of the Players. This is the best that art can do. To all art we must bring something not contained in it, to see it as art. We must see the unattained youthful effort. If there is a glimpse of that, it is all we can hope for in an unrealized world. These ten are not the best plays ever written; but they are written in a pure spirit; they sprang from an attempt made by a group Of men and women to express something Sincerely, with no regard for fame, money, or power - and what ever they have Of value is due to that. If the Provincetown Players had not been formed, in unusual degree, with the purity of youth and ehrt, so many of them would not, in all likelihood, in this brief time have died. It was not an accident. They gave themselves un reservedly to life, and it was eternity, rather than death, that took them. Among those, of the Players who remain there are some who remain unwillingly. Whom the gods love die young, and if some Of those who remain are loved Of the gods, it is because they are already living beyond in Spirit, and are held here for the purpose of fulfilling some mundane obligation.

Excerpt from The Hairy Ape: Anna Christie; The First Man Scene - The firemen's forecastle of a transatlantic liner an hour after sailing from New York for the voyage across. Tiers of narrow, steel bunks, three deep, on all sides. An entrance in rear. Benches on the floor before the bunks. The room is crowded with men, shouting, cursing, laughing, singing - a confused, inchoate uproar swelling into a sort of unity, a meaning - the bewildered, furious, baffled defiance of a beast in a cage. Nearly all the men are drunk. Many bottles are passed from hand to hand. All are dressed in dungaree pants, heavy ugly shoes. Some wear singlets, but the majority are stripped to the waist. The treatment of this scene, or of any other scene in the play, should by no means be naturalistic. The effect sought after is a cramped space in the bowels of a ship, imprisoned by white steel. The lines of bunks, the uprights supporting them, cross each other like the steel framework of a cage. The ceiling crushes down upon the men's heads. They cannot stand upright. This accentuates the natural stooping posture which shovelling coal and the resultant over-development of back and shoulder muscles have given them.
