HOWS YOUR SECOND ACT? (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Hows Your Second Act?The fact remains, however, that cigar or no cigar, the theatrical manager of the yesterday is rapidly passing out of thefield of drama. He is passing out of the field of drama, Where he doubtless never belonged, and into the field of theatre management, the field in which he had his beginnings and the field to, which he is unquestionably best suited. The old-time manager is, in short, passing once more into the state of mere business man. His ramble into the drama as a producing manager shows signs of being at an end. And while this end may not yet be direct ly at hand, it is daily looming larger and larger, and it would, indeed, seem safe to predict that his evanescence into his pristine shape - the shape of business man pure and simple - is even nearer at hand than our eyes may lead us believe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
