Description:
1866 1ed New York Stage American THEATER Actor Joseph Ireland James Hackett 2vThis major work on the early history of the American theatre chronicles more than a century of the plays presented at the various New York houses and the performers who appeared in them. According to the "Oxford Companion to American Theatre," author Joseph Ireland has "filled the book with numerous useful biographical sketches and other background information."Ireland devoted himself to the history of the stage producing two biographies of actors and notable American performances. He was excessively complimentary of various actors and much of his attention to their performances is noticeable in 'Records' – actors such as James Hackett. This 1866-67 edition of 'Records of the New York stage' is extremely rare known to be one of only 200 known copies, according to sources.Item number: #5354Price: $550IRELAND, Joseph NortonRecords of the New York stage, from 1750-1860New York: T.H.
