Famous Actresses of the Day in America
Author: Lewis Clinton Strang
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Actors
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
It is obviously impossible, in writing of persons so prominently before the public as the women considered in this book, to secure any great amount of new matter regarding the chief incidents of their lives, and the author wishes frankly to acknowledge himself a compiler and editor in so far as biographical details are concerned. The facts were gathered from various contemporaneous publications, and in some instances, from the actresses themselves. Accuracy has been the aim, but sometimes it has appeared, after a careful sifting of ambiguous and contradictory statements, that a well-considered guess was the only apparent solution of the problem. In so far as criticism is concerned the opinions expressed, except where credit is given, are the author's own, and he has endeavored to be just with kindness, and still to preserve a proper sense of proportion. In preparing the list of the actresses it was necessary to exclude from it many worthy of notice. A numerical limit had to be fixed, and in the process of selection the preference was given to those whose work during the last season was especially notable. The arrangement of the book is purely mechanical, and comparisons, which are usually foolish, and always valueless, are purposely avoided. - Preface.
