Books with author William. Archibald

Excerpt from Henry Irving, Actor and Manager: A Critical StudyChapter in his career. Epoch-making it will hardly be. His tour is not likely to produce much effect, for better or worse, on Mr. Irving's art. Travelling with his own company, his own scenery, his own appointments of every sort, he will in effect carry with him his own Lyceum from the orchestra backwards. Only the auditorium and its occupants will be changed; and if the visit were to be prolonged over years instead of months this change might be all-important. In the course of a winter tour, however, he will scarcely have the time, even if he had the will, to adapt his style to the changed conditions. I am not prepared to say that a prolonged separation from his Lyceum audiences - and his Lyceum critics might not have a beneficial effect upon Mr. Irving's art. It is useless to speculate one way or the other, for on separation long enough seriously to influence his style is likely to take place. Any Yankee notions he may bring.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"I was anxious on the first night of William Archer's play...because this [his] first play, and I could not help recalling the literary men...who have essayed the state, and who have not triumphed. Lo, before the end of the first act my anxiety was over... At the end of the second act I said, 'this is a money-getter.' At the end of the third act I said, 'Archer has put it over.' At the end of the fourth act I cheered with the rest." Quoted from the back of the book jacket.
