Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadows of the Stage Tm; papers contained in this volume, chosen out of hundreds that the author has written on dramatic subjects, are assembled with the hope that they may be accepted, in their present form, as a part of the permanent record of our theatrical times. For at least thirty years it has been a considerable part of the constant occupa tion of the author to observe and to record the life of the contemporary stage. Since 1860 he has written intermittently in various periodicals, and since the summer of 1865 he has written continuously in the New York Tribune, upon actors and their art; and in that way he has accumulated a great mass of historical commentary-upon the drama. In preparing this book he has been permitted to draw from his contribu tions to the Tribune, and also from his writings in Harper's Magazine and Weekly.
