Mary Goes First is a comedy play written by Henry Arthur Jones and first published in 1915. The play is divided into three acts and an epilogue, and tells the story of a wealthy woman named Mary who is engaged to a man named George. When George’s best friend, Jack, comes to visit, he and Mary start to develop feelings for each other, leading to a series of misunderstandings and comedic situations.Throughout the play, the characters grapple with issues of class, gender roles, and societal expectations. Mary, in particular, is portrayed as a strong-willed and independent woman who is not afraid to challenge traditional norms. The play also features a cast of colorful characters, including Mary’s eccentric aunt and a group of bumbling servants.Overall, Mary Goes First is a lighthearted and entertaining play that offers a glimpse into the social mores and attitudes of early 20th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
