Edwin Arlington Robinson's comedy "Van Zorn" proved him to be one of the most accomplished of the younger generation of American dramatists. Of this play the Boston Transcript said, "It is an effective presentation of modern life in New York City, in which a poet shows his skill of playwrighting ... he brings to the American drama to-day a thing it sadly lacks, and that is character." In manner and technique Mr. Robinson's new play, "The Porcupine," recalls some of the work of Ibsen. Written adroitly and with the literary cleverness exhibited in "Van Zorn," it tells a story of a domestic entanglement in a dramatic fashion well calculated to hold the reader's attention.

"Contains all of the qualities that are said to be conspicuously lacking in American Drama."—N. Y. Evening Sun.

Mr. Robinson is known as the leader of present-day American poets. In this delightful play he tells with a biting humor the story of the salvation of a soul. By clever arrangement of incident and skillful characterization he arouses strongly the reader's curiosity, and the suspense is admirably sustained. The dialogue is bright, and the construction of the plot shows the work of one well versed in the technique of the drama.
