Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Players Blue Book In compiling The Players Blue Book the aim has been to supply a series of photographs and short biographies of those actors and actresses best known at the present time and to furnish in convenient form a souvenir of this age of the drama in America from the view point of those who interpret it. It is not meant to be a critical work, nor a work of reference, though accuracy has been sought after above all else. Information about the people of whom the book tells has been obtained from the people themselves, though in a few cases where this information was found to be too meager, other sources have been questioned. The vain imaginings of press agents have been carefully eliminated, and the attempt has been to present the matter in an attractive form and to say as much as possible in the space alloted to each biography. Of course, in a work of this kind it is well nigh impossible to please every one. Some names may have been omitted which by right should have place, and other names added which, in the opinion of some, should have been left out. It has been the object of the compiler to present those who have by their efforts and talents found place in the front ranks of the profession and to give facts without prejudice. When it has been possible to procure well authenticated anecdotes or bits of life history not exactly bearing upon theatrical experience but of an interesting nature, these have been briefly told, in the belief that dry information is not digestible without a sauce of story. The compiler wishes to thank the members of the profession, managers, and others who have assisted in making the completion of this work possible, and to acknowledge his gratitude especially to those whose portraits and biographies appear herein.
