Reproduction of the original: Curiosities of the American Stage by Laurence Hutton
Examines and critiques American theater and actors.
"Famous Actors," as a companion volume to "Famous Actresses," follows the general plan of that book. The criticisms and estimates of the different players' abilities, except in cases where credit is given, are the author's own. The biographical facts, interviews, and anecdotes were obtained from various sources. They have in all cases been carefully verified, and the imaginings of the press agent have been scrupulously ruled out. In selecting the list of persons to be considered in the work, those actors most prominent on the American stage today were given the preference, and consequently it was found necessary to omit a number whose past achievements give them high rank in their profession. - v. 1 Preface.
