A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Not once are they overdrawn. Not once is their realism sacrificed to the straining after efiect too common in literature. The book is a faithful portraiture of the lights and shades of life as we players know it. As fiction it would be superior to most of the output of the day, but it is not fiction; it is fact. Every character has lived. Every incident has happened. I know some of the heroes and heroines in the flesh, and I have been present when some of the events herein set down have occurred. I commend this book to every seeker after knowledge of the stage and to every student of character, be he such a seeker or not. ANNIE A. ADAMS.

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.
