Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Footlight Flashes If there be anything more detestable than writing one´s Autobiography, the individual who now essays the task, would be glad to know what it is. This assertion is made fearlessly, and without dread of contradiction; but, if one of my captious readers should consider me unworthy of credit, let him, or her, try the experiment, and allow me to sit in judgment on the document. Everybody has doubtless heard the story of the man who was suffering from a bad cold in his head, protesting to his friend that "there was nothing in the world so bad as a cold in the head!" The friend protested that he was in error, and named as a greater affliction, "two colds in the head." The same may be said of an Autobiography. Nothing can be so bad as one, except the perpetration of two. The life of an actor presents to the youthful and superficial observer, charms of no ordinary degree of interest; for there is no profession that holds so much sway, or takes such firm possession of the youthful mind, as that of acting. Well do I remember loitering when a boy, for hours together at the stage doors of Co vent Garden and Drury Lane Theatres, to watch the actors arrive at, or depart from, those temples of the drama.
