_The Drama_ for November will be a notable number. Rabindranath
Tagore will contribute an article on the stage that crystallizes
much of the present diverse generalization, especially in
discussions of stagecraft. Julius Brouta, perhaps the most
celebrated drama critic of Spain, will write of the work of
Benavente, a brilliant Spanish playwright of today. A puppet play
of Benavente, the popular _Los Interessos Creados_, will be
printed in its entirety. _The New Stage Art in its Relation to
Drama_ will be considered from a new point of view by Alice
Corbin Henderson. The articles begun in the present number,
_Playing Hamlet as Shakespeare Staged It in 1601_, by Charlotte
Porter, and _The Evolution of the Actor_, by Arthur Pollock, will
be concluded.
In November also will appear what promises to be one of the most
important pieces of dramatic poetry ever written in America,
Edwin Arlington Robinson’s _Ben Jonson Entertains a Man from
Stratford_. In beauty of verse, in poetic vision, and in its
appreciation of the fine human quality of Shakespeare the poem is
a leading feature of the Shakespeare Tercentenary Celebration.

THE
SEXUAL
QUESTION
Heretofore sold by subscription, only to physicians. Now offered
to the public. Written in plain terms. Former price $5.50. _Now
sent prepaid for $1.60._ This is the revised and enlarged
Marshall English translation. Send check, money order or stamps.
Ignorance Is the Great Curse!
Do you know, for instance, the scientific difference between love
and passion? Human life is full of hideous exhibits of
wretchedness due to ignorance of sexual normality.
Stupid, pernicious prudery long has blinded us to sexual truth.
Science was slow in entering this vital field. In recent years
commercialists eyeing profits have unloaded many unscientific and
dangerous sex books. Now the world’s great scientific minds are
dealing with this subject upon which human happiness often
depends. No longer is the subject tabooed among intelligent
people.
We take pleasure in offering to the American public, the work of
one of the world’s greatest authorities upon the question of
sexual life. He is August Forel, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D., of Zurich,
Switzerland. His book will open your eyes to yourself and explain
many mysteries. You will be better for this knowledge.
Every _professional man and woman_, those dealing with social,
medical, criminal, legal, religious and educational matters will
find this book of immediate value. Nurses, police officials,
heads of public institutions, writers, judges, clergymen and
teachers are urged to get this book at once.
The subject is treated from every point of view. The chapter on
“love and other irradiations of the sexual appetite” is a
profound exposition of sex emotions—Contraceptive means
discussed—Degeneracy exposed—A guide to all in domestic
relations—A great book by a great man.
