Book Description
Excerpt from The Humour of Italy The comedy of the present day has not quite the same disadvantage. The stereotyped characters are done away with, and there is more play of individuality. But it will be noticed that the specimens given consist of one or more whole scenes, sometimes of considerable length there is the same deficiency, or nearly so, of quotable speeches. This, of course, is not a fault from the dramatic point of View; but it is embarrassing for the maker of selections.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Commedia Dell'arte: A Study in Italian Popular Comedy A small Pennsylvania town turned itself out one breathless summer day not long ago to watch an entertainment given in a large airy barn by a family of wandering geniuses, not gypsies or minstrels, certainly not agents as the term is generally understood, but hard-headed Yankee originals with something Of their own to sell and apparently a novel way Of their own Of selling it. The something was a certain soap, guaranteed of the purest; the method of advertisement was to take it as the theme of a simple farce, a theme varied by all manner Of songs in its praises and allusions to its perfections, brought as by accident into the pauses Of a banal dialog.
