Excerpt from The Stage in America 1897-1900 In writing this book, which is designed to describe, in what can be seen on the American stage to-day, those things of most importance to a thinking observer of the drama, I have incorporated much already printed in the Commercial Advertiser and the Bookman; a chapter on "the drama of ideas" from the Contemporary Review; one on the "syndicate" from the International Monthly; parts of two essays in the Atlantic Monthly; and a few lines from the Forum.

Excerpt from An Imaginary History of the American Theatre From 1890 to 1900 The imaginary history which I now submit* may throw some light on a question that concerns us all; and as actions are born of dreams, so ideas which seem Utopian, if handled by brave men and women, may bring about the change we all desire.

Excerpt from Curiosities of the American Stage Tms book, as its name implies, is a series of chap ters from the annals of the American Theatre; and it considers Plays and Players more particularly in their less familiar aspects. It does not pretend to be critical; and the greatest care has been taken to verify all the facts it contains (many of them here presented for the first time), in order that it may appeal to the small but select band of specialists known as Dramatic Collectors, as well as to those influential members of the community who are glad to call themselves Old Play-goers.

Excerpt from History of the American Stage: Containing Biographical Sketches of Nearly Every Member of the Profession That Has Appeared on the American Stage, From 1733 to 1870 The stage is an arduous profession, requiring so many natural gifts, com bined with difficult acquirements, that while success is honor and happi ness, failure, though unfortunate and full of disappointment, is no disgrace; and every new aspirant knows that success or failure is the result of public opinion, and that his efforts must at all times be Open to public criticism.

Excerpt from The American Stage of to-Day Box and Cox Buckstone, Scribe, Dumas - these are typical names of the dramatists who furnished the dramatic fare for our fathers in the theater.

Excerpt from At the New Theatre and Others, the American Stage: Its Problems and Performances, 1908-1910 During the seasons of 1908 - 09 and 1909 - 10 the most interesting developments in the American dramatic world have been the steady rise to strength of an opposition to the so-called Theatrical Syndicate and the opening of the New Theatre in New York. The New Theatre is still, after one season, an experiment. It is not truly an endowed Institution, but a private playhouse depending for its support on the continued good will of its wealthy founders. It was not democratic in its inception nor planned by men shrewdly versed in the difficult craft of the theatre. It has labored under a great handicap. Its future usefulness, if not its very existence, will depend upon how well those at its head learn the lesson of experience. But its field of possible achievement is mighty; it repre sents a significant effort to place the drama in this country upon a level with the other arts, above the truck of commerce. The rise of an opposition to the Theatrical Syndicate has been, in a different way, no less signifi cant and, so far, very much more successful.
