Présentation de l'éditeur
Manufacture of a Personage JOHN CARLSON began the rehearsals of Nicoline in early August of 1895. For a week he tried to correct the hot labours of the whole, large company. He was nervous about this production. His digestion interfered. His temper grew explosive. The leading woman was alarmed for her gentility. The leading man disliked his part of a cheap rake. Carlson abandoned the minor folk to his stage manager, Rothenstein, and nursed these two clumsy celebrities toward a certain ease. But his stomach suffered. He attended the opening night of The Prisoner of Zenda at the Lyceum, fainted during the second act and was revived with brandy in Mr. Frohman soffice. The brandy gave him fever; he spent the six days remaining before Nicoline opened, in his bed. Yet on a warm Monday night he dressed his gaunt body gorgeously, shaved his yellow face, thrust an orchid into his coat and dined at Martin swith young Mr. Fitch who had adapted Nicoline from the French.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes us behind the scenes of the American theatre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, through the eyes of a fictional character named Mark Walling. The author invites us to experience the world of ambitious actors, scheming managers, and demanding playwrights in the era of rapid industrialization and social change. The excerpt follows Mark's journey from a naive country boy to a rising star in the world of theatre. He is plucked from obscurity by a shrewd manager, John Carlson, and thrust into the demanding world of Broadway. Mark's innocence and earnestness make him both a pawn and a potential asset in a world fueled by ambition and fueled by the fleeting desires of the public. We see the theatrical world as a microcosm of American society, a place where ambition, desire, and social mobility are constantly colliding. We are introduced to the captivating, and ultimately destructive, Cora Boyle, Mark's first wife and a woman who personifies the fleeting nature of fame and the temptations of the theatre. The excerpt also delves into Mark's encounters with various characters, including the witty playwright, Clyde Fitch, and the acerbic critic, James Huneker. Through Mark's journey, the author offers a rich and insightful look at the often-exploitative and chaotic world of the theatre in the Gilded Age, where talent and ambition often collide with the demands of the public and the whims of fate. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
