"Valley Forge" and "Winterset." Music by Sir Arthur Sullivan The award carries the following citation: "The Circle's decision is based on the conviction that in 'Winterset' the author accomplished the nota­ bly difficult task of interpreting a val.id and challenging contemporary t~1 eme dealing with the pursuit of human justice in terms of unusual poetic force, realizing a drama o f r ich meaning and combining high literary distinction with compelling theatrical effect. "Courage and wisdom were clearly required in both the writing and presenting of 'Winterset'- and the Circle thinks it is a proof of the vitality and dignity of the New York theatre that this play was produced and so widely appreci­ ated." Mr. Anderson's capture of the critics' prize completes a cycle that began two years ago. At that time the drama judges for the Pulitzer Prize committee agreed unani­ mously that Mr. Anderson's "Mary of Scotland" had been the season's best offering.
