Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Heroines on the Stage, Vol. 2 The actors down in the green-room under the stage of this newly built John Street Theatre. Of the town of New York, shivered in the damp air, and won dered why the curtain was not raised. In the easiest chair - though not by any means an easy-chair sat the popular Miss Cheer, reflecting on a new tri umph imminent in Cleopatra, but not foreseeing the great disaster of later years, when with beauty lost through advancing age, and with a married name to take away the impressionable charm of maidenhood, she was to return to the stage, after the Revolution, only to be received with dissatisfied silence and to be relegated to minor characters.

Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Drama and Opera, Vol. 2 The most significant phase of the development of the drama in the United States is the slow moving. Yet widespread group of movements toward the organiza tion of the theatre as a social force. We see three stages in the development of our social consciousness with reference to the drama. In the first stage. Covering the first century and more since the Revolution. Let us say. The American audience regarded the theatre as a palace of amusement and the drama a form Of literature commercialized to that end. There were. At times during this period. Manifestations of a submerged conscious ness of nationality in the United States; but an over whelming proportion of American dramatic entertain ments were transplanted from Great Britain and translated or adapted from French. And less frequently from other foreign. Playwrights. In the second stage. We may observe the actual beginnings of American dramatic art on a definite scale, and the development of the idea of the function of the drama in the life of America. Dramatists like Fitch. Thomas. Gillette. Moody. Mac Kaye. Walter came to give greater permanence to the sound beginnings of Heme and Howard. During this stage in development. There were many signs that the drama was coming to be recognized as a means of indi vidual culture. Comparable to that of any other form of literature.
