Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadows of the Stage Tm; papers contained in this volume, chosen out of hundreds that the author has written on dramatic subjects, are assembled with the hope that they may be accepted, in their present form, as a part of the permanent record of our theatrical times. For at least thirty years it has been a considerable part of the constant occupa tion of the author to observe and to record the life of the contemporary stage. Since 1860 he has written intermittently in various periodicals, and since the summer of 1865 he has written continuously in the New York Tribune, upon actors and their art; and in that way he has accumulated a great mass of historical commentary-upon the drama. In preparing this book he has been permitted to draw from his contribu tions to the Tribune, and also from his writings in Harper's Magazine and Weekly.

This vol ume, like its predecessor, is composed of essays of mine collected from The New York Tribune and other periodicals to which I have contributed during many years.

Many shining names and interesting subjects are omitted, for want of space. A few of my papers have, with consent, been reproduced from the private prints of the Dunlap So ciety and from those of my friend Augustin Daly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadows of the Stage Third Series The fleeting character of theatrical fame has often been observed and has often been used to point the moral of mutability and evanescence. Many a theatrical name that once was famous is now forgotten. The renown of the actor seldom survives his period. In the series of dramatic papers of which this is the third volume an effort is made to assist in recording some of the more important theatrical achievements of our day, and thus, happily, in transmitting to a later generation some authentic knowledge of well-graced players whose triumphs are passing or have already passed. Some of the names herein commemorated are, indeed, so highly renowned that they seem likely to do more for the chronicle than the chronicle can do for them, in the way of perpetuation. Others are less distinguished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Shadows Vol 20 written by Gerald Francis Ryan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadows, Vol. 20: June, 1929 The author's given name is Elmer, one that evokes in Mr. Average Man an irresistible chuckle and brings flashes of youthful and even grown-up comic strips those indispensable adjuncts of every modern daily. Just as Elmer is associated with funny papers and the valiant Tuggle boy, so must our Elmer have spent hours in close contact with the great family of comics, for when you read his play you sense at once that this must be the product of a funny paper mind now grown to maturity. Elmer's play is like our new-born comics, humorous, unique, im possible. When Elmer, and after all that is his name, sat down to write his play he must have been fresh from the pages u of Bungle and Jiggs, for he divided his play not into acts, as every respectable play should be, but into scenes - seven of them, each more ludicrous and colorful than its prede cessor. First is a bedroom, then a department store, then a dining room, followed by a graveyard, succeeded by a glimpse of the Elysian Fields, concluding with Satan's headquarters in the Inferno building.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramana: A Romance of the Stage Ah, how true are the words of the Bard of Avon! All the world is a stage for the many and varied scenes of comedy and tragedy, of melodrama and farce. Actors of to-day are striving for truism, for realism. Acting, appealing to the differ ent emotions of man, is regarded as one of the fine arts, and is rightly classed so. The tragedies of life are in themselves too realistic, and, to think of it, there is very little comedy in a worldly existence. Yet why should man cry out against the tragedies in life? Sorrows must come. The Great One so ordained it. The dark clouds have their silver linings and the great shadows only in tensify the more the glorious golden sun shine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Besides the living model, many a picture of a dead dark face has been brought to her by the old Master himself, who, over it, would grow garrulous of the Past, and whose stories helped make the atmosphere from which this book is drawn.

Download or read book Shadows of the Stage written by William Winter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shadows of the Stage by William Winter THE GOOD OLD TIMES. It is recorded of John Lowin, an actor contemporary with Shakespeare and associated with several of Shakespeare's greater characters (his range was so wide, indeed, that it included Falstaff, Henry the Eighth, and Hamlet), that, having survived the halcyon days of "Eliza and our James" and lingered into the drab and russet period of the Puritans, when all the theatres in the British islands were suppressed, he became poor and presently kept a tavern, at Brentford, called The Three Pigeons. Lowin was born in 1576 and he died in 1654-his grave being in London, in the churchyard of St. Martin-in-the-Fields-so that, obviously, he was one of the veterans of the stage. He was in his seventy-eighth year when he passed away-wherefore in his last days he must have been "a mine of memories." He could talk of the stirring times of Leicester, Drake, Essex, and Raleigh. He could remember, as an event of his boyhood, the execution of Queen Mary Stuart, and possibly he could describe, as an eye-witness, the splendid funeral procession of Sir Philip Sidney. He could recall the death of Queen Elizabeth; the advent of Scottish James; the ruffling, brilliant, dissolute, audacious Duke of Buckingham; the impeachment and disgrace of Francis Bacon; the production of the great plays of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson; the meetings of the wits and poets at the Apollo and the Mermaid. He might have personally known Robert Herrick-that loveliest of the wild song-birds of that golden age. He might have been present at the burial of Edmund Spenser, in Westminster Abbey-when the poet brothers of the author of The Faerie Queene cast into his grave their manuscript elegies and the pens with which those laments had been written. He had acted Hamlet, -perhaps in the author's presence. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Stage Coachman, Vol. 1 of 2 IF in the perusal of this narrative it should be objected that there is far too much of a personal or private nature, the author's excuse is, that it was commenced to gratify a large circle, beyond whose limits it was never intended to pass but some friends, thinking it worthy of a more extended circulation, have induced him to offer it to the public. If it should be found not altogether to correspond with the title, and here and there to treat of persons and things in a manner not warranted by the position of the author, he claims the privilege of free agency, and shelters himself under the Shadow of precedent.

This point pleased the patron so heartily that he hit the donkey across the hind leg to test his temper. The Rat showed his teeth in a grin of satisfaction, and without even a word to the boy was gone. Follow me now and be spry, said the rug-maker, and led the way into a low shed where bales Of rugs in burlap were piled high, and in a great bin were count less balls of yarn, blue and grey, red and brown, yel low, black and white. Next to the bin was another enormous pile of yarn, undyed, and this in big bundles the rug man and one of his coolies began loading upon the donkey's back, tying it on with ropes, and balancing the load with great skill. When they had finished, the gentle face Of patient little Brother looked out from under a mountain of yam - enough to tax the broad back of a dray horse.
