Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixty Years of the Theater: An Old Critic's Memories Macready, Forrest, the Keans, the Booths, Daven port and their contemporaries, will readily assent to the degeneracy of the modern theater in all matters of sheer artistry and histrioni'sm. It is only in scenic accessories, and in the lighter and less permanent varieties of drama that it has made any notable advance. Some attempt has been made herein to point out some of the main causes of this generally acknowledged decadence, and to indicate the most hopeful measures for its arrest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William E. Burton; Actor, Author, and Manager: A Sketch of His Career With Recollections of His Performances The present volume was prompted by the thought that no adequate account of the late William E. Burton had been given to the public. During his life no man was better known, and his death called forth a universal expression of admiration for his genius and regret for I his loss. In the many obituary notices by the press some brief details of his career were given; but the narrative was necessarily confined to the narrow limits of a newspaper article.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Actor's Notebooks: Being Some Memories, Friendships Criticisms and Experiences of Frank Archer The author of this volume has not attempted to de scribe fully his theatrical career, although much of it is in the nature of an autobiography; it is a record rather of a few of the gifted and interesting people with whom he has had the good fortune to come into contact. Most of it was compiled before the attractive volume of his old friends and managers, Sir Squire and Lady Bancroft, came into his hands. A few of the details necessarily touch on incidents of which they have treated, but it cannot render their pleasant book of less value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Half a Century AN old writer, whose manly sentiments and vigorous style of expressing them have ever commanded the respect of Englishmen, devotes many pages to set forth the advantages of a man's writing memoirs of himself.1 The advantage is to accrue from the reflex action of the practice on a man's own life and character. He will trace the effect of the passing events wherein he has been an actor, the conclusions he has deduced, the mistakes he has made, their disturbing effect on his mental peace, and the determinations deduced therefrom as to his future actions and line of conduct. Thus the story of our lives from year to year becomes to the chronicler a useful and instructive monitor and pioneer. It is evident that such memoirs would be intended in the first instance for the writer himself alone. He would never intend to blazon to the world the workings of his own heart and the experiences of his daily life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Other Days Being Chronicles and Memories, of the Stage It has been my fortune and privilege, during a period of more than fifty years, to he closely associated with the men and women of the Theatre. Some of them have been comrades of mine; intimate friends; daily associates; accustomed to tell me of their joys and sorrows, and to ash and to follow my counsel in the conduct of their professional lives. Their rivalries and the contests of their coteries have surged around me; their triumphs have engaged my pen; their defeats have elicited my sympathy; and, - as it is a happiness to remember, - their finer achievements have, in many instances, been recorded and celebrated, in such a way as to gratify, cheer, and help them, by my literary zeal and industry. I have observed them closely and I have found them exceedingly interesting: sometimes humorous; sometimes pathetic; always sensitive; often sweet and gentle; still more frequently unconventional, hopeful, and gay, and therefore charming companions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years on the Stage: Others (Principally) And Myself I think I hear the reader say, What another actor's reminiscences and I am fain to admit that there has been a plentiful crop of them in the last few years. Let me hasten to give my reason and ask excuse for adding mine to the list. In some articles I wrote on stage matters in the Nineteenth Century a few years ago, I was able to say with perfect truth, I have never been interviewed. Ihave neverinspireda paragraph. Ihave never made speeches, and I may add I have never been photographed except at the request of my manager at the time. I was taught, in my early days on the stage, that the actor's duty was behind the proscenium, and that his best and most telling pronouncements were those made when the curtain was up. In that faith I have lived and worked earnestly and sincerely. It is an old-fashioned and out-oi - date creed in these self asserting days, but in the autumn of one's career it is too late to change, and it follows as a matter of course that I am not one of those who consider their lives, their doings or their thoughts of general or public interest. But in my forty-odd years on the stage I. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
