The paper elucidates the early works of one of the most prominent personalities of Slovak drama of the 20th century, the doctor and writer Ivan Stodola. His minute dramatic pieces, written for a student theatre in Liptovsky Mikulas, were put on paper in the early of the 20th century. His early dialogues were affected by Budapest cabarets (he made his debut in 1911, with a sketch 'Who Will be Wearing the Pants in the Family?'). Although the text is short, it shows the young and beginning playwright's gift for putting two distinct conflict-bearing characters against each other, his sense of drama and stage, as well as his sense of gradation and punch-lining. Among the best-known Stodola's minute dramatic pieces belonged 'Elections and Tax Settlement', written in 1920 and staged on a New Year's Eve party in 1920. In 1923, they were staged by members of the local culture society 'Beseda'. The author shares his profound knowledge of all minute dramatic pieces written by Ivan Stodola and their staging.
