Shadows of the Stage: Third Series
William Winter
- Winter writes in the Preface: The fleeting character of theatrical fame has often been observed and has often been used to point the moral of mutability and evanescence. Many a theatrical name that once was famous is now forgotten. The renown of the actor seldom survives his period. In the series of dramatic papers of which this is the third volume an effort is made to assist in recording some of the more important theatrical achievements of our day, and thus, happily, transmitting to a later generation some authentic knowledge of well-graced players whose triumphs are passing or have already passed. Partial Contents: Ada Rehan as Viola; Lawrence Barrett as Gringoire; Henry Irving as Mathias; Mansfield as Shylock; Edward S. Willard; Charles Gayler; Ernesto Rossi as Hamlet; Mary Anderson as Rosalind; Marge Robertson Kendal; and others. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
