For ten years he has enjoyed the confidence of his business associates and the respect of the thousands of men and women of the stage who have been in the employ of his firm. His word with all of these is as good as his bond. What he says here he has said deliberately, after long reflection, and with the sole idea of telling the truth that the truth may help those who need to know it most. Young men and women ambitious to go on the stage, to write plays or to associate themselves in some other manner or capacity with the theater will find in what he has written the plain facts as he knows them - without adornment, exaggeration or excuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from About the Theater My Dear Augustus: Let me begin by confessing my regret that I cannot overhear your first remark when you receive this sheaf of essays, many of which are devoted to the subordinate subdivisions of the art of the stage. As it is, I can only imagine your surprise at discovering that this book, which contains papers dealing with certain aspects of the theater rarely considered to be worthy of criticism, is signed by the occupant of the earliest chair to be established in any American university specifically for the study of dramatic literature. I fancy I can hear the expression of your wonder that a sexagenarian professor should turn aside from his austere analysis of the genius of Sophocles and of Shakspere, of Moliere and of Ibsen, to discuss the minor arts of the dancer and the acrobat, to chatter about the conjurer and the negro minstrel, to consider the principles of pantomime and the development of scene-painting. But I am emboldened to hope that your surprise will be only momentary, and that you will be moved to acknowledge that perhaps there may be some advantage to be derived from these deviations into the by-paths of stage history.

It has been sought to make the claims of Christian faith appear as an unwarranted encroachment upon the domain of reason. And multitudes have believed that the religion of Obrist called for a blind credulity and a surrender of intel lectual freedom. A sad 'and wicked perversion of God's truth, and a blasphemous assumption of author ity and power, seeking its intensest expression in the dogma of papal infallibility, have undoubtedly done much to warrant this belief.

Rolland was finally located, and we began a correspondence from which I shall use certain parts to illustrate this brief preface. In my original preface to the present volume I had referred to M. Rolland's having retired from public life and being temporarily crushed, but the first letter I received convinced me beyond a doubt that he was far from it. He would never consent to the publication of any translation of his works without first seeing that it rendered faith fully the spirit of the original. He did not care even to discuss terms, and he added, by way of proof of his commercial disinterestedness, that the proceeds of the Nobel Prize, of which he was the recipient not long ago, and which amounted to over he had spent in works of charity.

Download or read book The New Theatre New York (Classic Reprint) written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Theatre New York Under the long-run system, moreover, the drama, like acting, tends to become limited to the ex ploitation of a single personality. This is not, as has Often been said, merely the result of the vanity of the star. It is the result of clearly defined busi ness conditions. The stock-in-trade Of the actor, and so of his manager, is a single personality. Everything that helps to exploit it is a source of profit, and anything that detracts from it, or even temporarily obscures it, tends to impair its value as an asset. For a star to play unsympathetic parts or to allow a member of his company to share the honors with him is simply bad business management. Under the stock company system the playwright has the utmost latitude both in the choice of his subject and in the method of treatment. The bigger a play in theme, the broader and more complex in its de velopment, the more likely it is to develop the full strength of the company as a whole, and so to de light the public.
