New York: Knickerbocker Press, 1925. First printing. Pamphlet. Exhibition catalogue. Insciribed to Percy and Marion MacKaye with affectionate wishes - F.W. Stokes. August 24, 1934. "The Power of the Impossible. The Life Story of Percy & Marion MacKaye", by Arvia MacKaye Ege. MacKaye wrote plays throughout the early part of the 20th century, in a somewhat anti-modernist view. Intensely concerned with the Spirit of America, Percy MacKaye was highly acclaimed before the age of film and electronic media as the inspired leader of the civic drama... At times, thousands filled his stages. Such community-participation masques uplifted drama to new levels, and became uniquely American cultural events.
