Professor Baldwin noted the works were experimental and asked for larger memberships to enable more workshop efforts. Miss Helen Carroll’s Greater Love Hath No Man is a tragedy based on Japanese domestic life and marriage customs. The plot centers on a girl forced to choose between eloping with a first lover or allowing the murder of her husband, ending with a risky act of lying down for the knife.

The second piece Clytemnestra by Miss Van Brunt reinterprets the myth as a dramatic poem rather than a play, focusing on Clytemnestra and the fate of her daughter amid Achilles and Agamemnon.
