The criticisms and esti mates of the different players' abilities, ex cept in cases where credit is given, are the author's own. The biographical facts, in terviews, and anecdotes were obtained from various sources. They have in all cases been carefully verified, and the imaginings of the press agent have been scrupulously ruled out. In selecting the list of persons to be considered in the work, those actors most prominent on the American stage to day were given the preference, and couse quently it was found necessary to omit a number whose past achievements give them high rank in their profession.

This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous American Actors of to-Day, Vol. 2 Thorne's education had been obtained, with others of the young members of the family, at the Cathedral School in Montreal, and for a while at St. John's Col lege in New York. His schooling, therefore was not very extensive, yet he showed no lack in after years of that information and accuracy that belong to the adequately trained man. In point of fact, he was fond of discussing questions of moment in literature, his tory, the drama, and the like. Being a man of inde pendence, he naturally had views of his own, views that were marked at least with vigor. He loved to gather about him, at his home and his table, men of thought, and in this way formed intimacies with Robert Inger soll and others. It is worth while noting that he was so strong in his likes and dislikes that there was no concealment of either with him. He was absolute and peremptory in this respect, and had no compromise with people that did not please him. It may be a tri ing detail to record, but it was one of the curious points in his character that he was easily bored; and yet, like the severe Edwin Forrest in his intimacy with the minstrel Christy, he would find diversion at times with ordinary but volatile people.

Wingate This volume is not designed for the use of theatrical people alone. Inasmuch as the various chapters are written by authors who arc recognized as authorities upon the subjects coming under their pens, as well as writers experienced in pleasing the public, it is hoped that the book will fill a helpful corner in the biographical department of home libraries, while at the same time it acquaints general readers with the careers and methods of work of our American actors. Although the theatre has existed in this country for a century and a half, and in these later days has flourished wonderfully, the literature of the stage is meagre. Of histories there are none that cover the entire period; of biographical works there arc very few, and none that deal, after the manner of this volume, with any considerable number of contemporaneous actors.

Just as women look up to certain actresses as models in the art of costuming themselves, and copy or try to copy them in their own attire, so to a host of men Drew is a glass of fashion and a mould of form, though men do not set so much store by these things as women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Stage of to-Day: Biographies and Photographs of One Hundred Leading Actors and Actresses Theatre, and which it was thought would. Protect him from extortion. Notwithstanding Booth's lack of business sagacity, his confiding disposition, his indifference to material gain, and his propensity to drift and dream, he earned three successive fortune-s, and, dying at the age of sixty, left an estate of more than half a million. His pecuniary success was great, but his greater success was that of mind and soul. He was a great man, and his memory will be honored always in the annals of our stage. Booth's Theatre, after he left it, passed through the custody of various speculative managers, and ultimately it was abandoned: but in his hands it never was a fail ure, and in endeavors that are now current the spirit of it seems to live again and to breathe a monition to the People to guard and promote the sacred cause of which he made it the emblem: for it is with the People, in their love and enjoyment of acting and in their allegiance to the Actor and his Art, that the Present of the Theatre rests, and it is to the People that its Future is committed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Old Actors, Vol. 1 of 2 Dictionary; the names of many of our old actors will be sought here in vain, but they are only those which have fallen into Oblivion, and to which little or no interest is now attached. It is said that the actor's genius dies with him and becomes merely a tradition to succeeding gene rations, and there is too much truth in the saying. Yet it is still possible, from the vivid word-paintings bequeathed to us by contemporaries, to clearly picture many of the famous performances of the past. Such paintings have been assiduously collected, in order to place before the reader a distinct idea of the various schools Of acting, from the rise to that comparative extinction of the player's art which has taken place during the present generation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theatrical Biography, or the Life of an Actor and Manager: Interspersed With Sketches, Anecdotes, and Opinions of the Professional Merits of the Most Celebrated Actors and Actresses of Our DayThe first bias my mind received towards the stage was thus early given in acting the part of Lady Randolph, in the tra gedy of Douglas, at the house of a schoolfellow named Miller, in which I elicited much undesemed approbation. Private Theatricals are, at the best, ludicrous, and have a dangerous tendency on any young mind imbued with romance. Although I had not at this time the most distant idea of the possibility bf ever becoming an actor, the applause I received on this occasion acted on my imagination at a later period in life, and kindled a flame which nothing could extinguish.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Actor Series Happy the biographer whose privilege it is to recount the life of one distinguished for genius and intellect, and at the same time for nobility of life and character. Such is my good fortune in writing of Charlotte Cushman. Her dramatic career will be the subject of this volume, and no space will be found for the picturing of her pri vate life. There is, however, no regret felt on this account, since all that relates to Charlotte Cushman as a woman and as a friend belongs more especially to those who were near and dear to her, and all that concerns the outside world in this regard has been told by her chosen 'friend and biographer far more suitably than another could hope to tell it.
