A few Criticisms of the Press :
Salt Lake Tribune: “The Plays are ten in number, all of goodly length. We prophesy great things for this gifted dramatist."
Bookseller, Newsdealer, and Stationer: “The dialogue is permeated with graceful satire, snatches of wit, picturesque phraseology, and tender, often exquisite, expressions of sentiment.”
San Francisco Argonaut: “Ten dramas of such a nature as to be capable of production by ordinary people with ordinary appliances. All of them are practical and clever.”
Baltimore Evening Sun : “ In all of them genuine talent is revealed.”
Detroit Tribune: “Crammed full of bright wit.”
The Smart Set: “Aside from Synge himself, indeed, not one of the Neo-Celts has done anything better than this in prose, (referring to ‘The Shadowed Star’, one of the plays contained in Short Plays). It is delicate, it is fanciful and yet it is thoroughly of the stage.” — H. L. Mencken.
Buffalo Express: “They are well written, varied in type, and ‘The Shadowed Star’ is particularly strong and convincing. They are bits of life in realistic setting.”
Worcester Evening Gazette: “The Plays answer a demand frequently heard for something absolutely clean and refined, yet pointedly interesting”
