About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ...see to the invitations to the Press and to the managers, and get as many members of these two classes as he can. Actors, actresses, and authors are admitted on presentation of their card. There is a goodish crowd of them always pressing round the box-office. Why they come is a mystery. He (the A.

Or, if the Lord Chamberlain does not forbid within seven clear days after the play has been sent to him, his permission may be assumed. A Other odds and ends of expenditure will be a few pounds for the two or three copies of the play that you will require and for copies of the parts. Then there will be a certain amount needed for postage, messengers, tips, &c. Nothing can be done without tipping in this world; and I expect when we go to the next we shall be asked to " please remember the fireman." That is all I can think of, and I daresay you will think it quite enough. Oh--of course if it is a "costume" play you will be expected to provide dress, wigs, &c. If the piece is a failure, you will never hear any more of it--except, of course, from your friends. If it...
