THE WIFE OF MAROBIUS
BY
MAX EHRMANN
The Wife of Marobius is strongly dramatic and
beautifully simple.--New York Evening Mail.
Not often is the secret of a woman's emotional na-
ture revealed as
clearly as in this drama of love and
passion.--Pittsburg
Press.
This story is true to-day and forever.--Seattle
Times.
Max Ehrmann reveals the rich quality of his genius in The Wife of Marobius.--Milwaukee Wis-
consin.
This is a bold theme. Emotion rises to the in-
tensest pitch, but the poet
rises with it, and no false
note is struck. . . . . Ehrmann has produced
a
notable piece of literature.--Indianapolis News.
A moving and poignant tragedy, a play that is at
once poetic and
dramatic.--Chicago Evening News.
It is intense and exalted; a play of palpitant power,
in which barbaric
passion breathes through verse
of splendid texture.--Pittsburg
Gazette Times.
It is a study of sensuous beauty, warm with life
and movement, and with a
genuine feeling for the
tears of things expressed in music woven out
of
shadow and the reverses of the spirit. It has beauty
and life--Boston Transcript.
In The Wife of Marobius this gifted author displays
his genius in a new and
brilliant light. There is in
the play a dignity of style, a notable
eloquence of
expression, and a dramatic intensity that are
tremen-
dously compelling.--Buffalo Courier.
It is marked with passion and intensity; and is
powerfully dramatic.--San Franciso Bulletin.
How I should love to play it! Really it is full of
great, great chances.--William Faversham.
Here are a fine and sure sense of technique, a
subtle understanding of the
feminine mind, and a
noble feeling for beauty at once sensuous and
moral.
--The Drama.
