Archer, William | April 25, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the actor-manager, George Alexander. Alexander was a graduate of the Lyceum school. It was as a manager that tie made his mark in theatrical history. No one played a greater part than he in the upward movement of the eighteen-nineties. To his insight and his courage the stage of that day owed an immense debt. He entered upon management in 1890 at the Avenue Theatre, where he opened with a commonplace French farce. To many notable dramatists George Alexander gave their first hearing of any importance. He has died in the year 1918.
