add to cart   close window

In this article, the author examines books "Box-Office," by John Anderson and "The Revolt of the Actors," by Alfred Harding. Anderson little treatise on the commercial aspects of the American theater is valuable and refreshing for the simple reason that it is written from the standpoint of one in close contact with realities. He has undertaken to trace in outline the effects of the theatrical business upon theatrical art, and he recognizes the fact that under no possible conditions could the two be entirely divorced.
