The Roll Call

""The Roll Call: A Masque of the Red Cross"" is a play written by Percy MacKaye that was first performed in 1918. The play is set during World War I and tells the story of a group of wounded soldiers who are being cared for in a hospital. The soldiers are from different backgrounds and have different experiences, but they share a common bond of sacrifice and service to their country. As they recover, they are visited by a group of mythical figures who represent different virtues, such as Courage, Duty, and Patriotism. These figures help the soldiers understand the importance of their sacrifices and inspire them to continue fighting for their country. The play is a powerful tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers during wartime and a reminder of the importance of these virtues in everyday life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
