Excerpt from Plays of Protest the Naturewoman the Machine the Second-Story Man Prince Hagen OF the plays here offered, the first in order of writing was Prince Hagen: a dramatization of a novel published nearly ten years ago. The author had always been dis satisfied with this novel, and he found that a new version of the theme was taking shape in his mind. The play which resulted was tried out under the author's direction at the Valencia Theatre, San Francisco, in January, 1909. In the light of the experience thus gained the play was entirely rewritten, and the new version of it is here presented.
