Side 11 - But the dialogue of this author is often so evidently determined by the incident which produces it, and is pursued with so much ease and simplicity, that it seems scarcely to claim the merit of fiction, but to...
Side 183 - The Midsummer Night's Dream, when acted, is converted from a delightful fiction into a dull pantomime. All that is finest in the play is lost in the representation. The spectacle was grand: but the spirit was evaporated, the genius was fled. Poetry and the stage do not agree well together.
Side 58 - At the outset, it was stated that the new movement was aiming at the establishment of the following things : (a) A repertory theatre with a regular change of programme, not wedded to any one school of dramatists but thoroughly catholic, embracing the finest writing of the best authors of all ages and with an especially widely open door to presentday British writers, who will not now need to sigh in vain for a hearing, provided only that they have something to say worth listening to, and say it in...

It is bad for plays and bad for acting.
Side 66 - To encourage the initiation and development of a purely Scottish Drama by providing a stage and an acting company which will be peculiarly adapted for the production of plays national in character, written by Scottish men and women of letters.
Side 213 - Note.— BAGNIGGE (locally pronounced, Bagnidge) WELLS— formerly a popular mineral spring in Islington, London, situated not far from the better remembered Sadler's- Wells. The gardens of Bagnigge Wells were at one time much resorted to; but, as a matter of fact, Bagnigge- Wells, unlike Sadler'sWells, has never possessed a playhouse. Sadler'sWells Theatre, however— always familiarly known as the
Side 44 - ... production of Shaw's Arms and the Man in 1894, Miss AEF Horniman, may fitly be described as the mother of repertory in England. Largely through her efforts has come into being the Abbey Theatre, the repertory theatre of Ireland — the only theatre in an English-speaking country, said Mr. WB Yeats in 1908, " that is free for a certain number of years to play what it thinks worth playing, and to whistle at the timid.
