Présentation de l'éditeur
While the players may be, as Hamlet says, The abstract and brief chronicles of the time, yet they are something more. They serve as time-killers and care-quellers for humanity, to prod the tedium of our idle hours, and quell the worries that may rise from out our busy ones. Many of the players in the past have been accomplished wags, and the rehearsal of their waggery is worthy the book which Mr. Whitton has written. His half-century sintimacy ivith the Stage and its people has furnished him zinth the material, and while the greater pari of this zvill be new to his readers, that zvhich they may recognise as old will be, perhaps, none the less pleasing in the new dress with which he has clothed it. G. H. R.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports the reader back to a time when famous actors were regarded as celebrities and their witty remarks and pranks entertained both on and off the stage. With a focus on American performers of the 19th century, the author, a seasoned theater observer, gives detailed accounts of the lives and careers of famous actors like Edwin Forrest, William Rufus Blake, and John Drew, alongside lesser-known but equally talented performers. The book offers a glimpse into the evolution of American theater in the 19th century and provides a rich collection of amusing anecdotes and insights into the personalities who shaped the era's theatrical landscape. Through these humorous accounts, the book brings to life an era when the theater was a vibrant cultural force and its stars were larger-than-life figures whose antics and wit continue to entertain readers today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331453697_0
