The blue bird [antikvár]

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE TO THE SEVENTEENTH EDITION A NEW act appears for the first time in this edition and is inserted as Act IV—The Palace of Happiness. It has been specially written for the Christmas revival of The Blue Bird at the Haymarket Theatre, where it will take the place of the Forest Scene (Act III., Scene 2). In the printed version, however, the Forest Scene is retained ; and in this and all later editions the play will consist of six acts instead of five. ALEXANDER TEIXEIRA de MATTOS Chelsea, 14.
