Yet a sturdy hope weaves the two words into one sentence on the threshold of a book, that they may meet again in men's minds and, in due course, bring the things themselves together. Men create everything in their own image and always get exactly what they deserve, neither more nor less. The sins of the fathers are visited upon the children in art as in everything else, and the English nation deserves the English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theatre and Its People One of the exercises in a dramatic school is to speak pieces as all of us did in our school-days. But the'selections are not the well-remembered ones of our juvenile declamation. They are likelier to be passages from plays so unfamiliar that the pupil cannot be guided by precedent, but must form his own conception of the ideas and how to convey them in Speech and action. The tendency is toward naturalism, and away from formal declamation. Ora tory, in the ordinary meaning of the word, is depreciated. Fluency and variety of utterance are aimed at.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Theatre In writing about the theatre nothing today is more appropriate than the explanation of Russian art. That art, carried far by enthusiasm and noble stand ards, is happily better known to us than it was. The American mind, let us trust, becomes every year more worthy to receive it. If there is in our country a critic as fitted as Mr. Sayler to discuss this art, I know him not. The book that follows is informed, its spirit moves ever on a high level, its judgments seem to me unvaryingly cor rect, and the ripe simplicity of the style is a suitable vehicle for the message. The book is worthy to present to our people the most energetic and intense stage that, in over a century.

Download or read book The Romance of the Theatre Classic Reprint written by Mary Caroline Crawford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of the Theatre There exists no complete history of the American theatre. William Dunlap, in 1832, put out what he called a history of the American theatre; but 1832 was more than eighty years ago, and Dunlap's history, though honest in intent, was far from accurate in con tent. Some thirty years ago George Seilhamer began to give to the world what promised to be an authentic history of the American theatre, the sources of infor mation which he used being chiefly the files of Colonial and Revolutionary newspapers; three volumes had been issued and the story brought up to 1800 when Mr. Seilhamer died. N 0 soul yet has been found brave enough to take up this task where it was then laid down. Brander Matthews, Lawrence Hutton, William Winter and, more recently, Montrose Moses have, however, made noteworthy contributions to the literature of this subject and to them, as to Seilhamer, Dunlap, and many others the present volume is deeply indebted.
