MISS NUDIE'S DEBUT. ON the 23rd of November, 1805, Miss Mudie, called The Theatrical Phenomelzon, a child ap- parently about eight years old, with but a compa- ratively diminutive figure even for that age, who, in the preceding season, hacl played the first rate comic characters at Birmingham, Liverpool, Dub- lin, and other theatres, made her debut at Covent Garden, as Miss Peggy, in l' The Country Girl." It is true, she repeated the words of the part correctly ; her deportment was confident, unembamssed, and sprightly; her voice, for lm age, powerful; and her acting cvinccd intelli- gence and industry; in truth, considering her - performance as that of an infant, it was stlrprising : but, regarding it as a clranzntic persun@catian, it AND THEATRICALS. 3 was contemptible.

    White Priory Murders

    THE WHITE PRIORY MURDERS John Dickson Carr Writing as Carter Dickson CHAPTER ONE Certain Reflections in the Mirror "HUMPH," SAID H. M., "SO YOU'RE MY NEPHEW, HEY?" HE continued to peer morosely over the tops of his glasses, his mouth turned down sourly and his big hands folded over his big stomach. His swivel chair squeaked behind the desk. He sniffed. 'Well, have a cigar, then. And some whisky. - What's so blasted funny, hey? You got a cheek, you have. What're you grinnin' at, curse you?" The nephew of Sir Henry Merrivale had come very close to laughing in Sir Henry Merrivale's face. It was, unfortu- nately, the way nearly everybody treated the great H. M., including all his subordinates at the War Office, and this was a very sore point with him. Mr. James Boynton Bennett could not help knowing it. When you are a young man just arrived from over the water, and you sit for the first time in the office of an eminent uncle who once managed all the sleight-of-hand known as the British Military Intelligence Department, then some little tact is indicated. H. M., although largely ornamental in these slack days, still worked a few wires. There was sport, and often danger, that came out of an unsettled Europe. Bennett's father, who was H. M.'s brother-in-law and enough of a somebody at Washington to know, had given him some extra-family hints before Bennett sailed. "Don't," said the elder Bennett, "don't, under any circumstances, use any ceremony with him.

UNIVERSITY MICROFILMS PREFACE The conduct of this investigation would not have been possible without the large number of drawings by members of the Grieve family available for analysis through the microfilm holdings of The Ohio State University Theatre Collection. These holdings are from three sources: (l) The British Museum collection of drawings by John Henderson Grieve (OSUTC film No. 1454). (2) The Victoria and Albert Museum holdings of drawings by members of the Grieve family (OSUTC film No. 1721). It is from these two sources that the drawings were selected for analysis and illustration in this study. (3) Drawings by Thomas Grieve in the Charles Kean Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum (OSUTC film Nos. 893, 894 and 895 )• These drawings are catalogued in Appendix A and were examined but were not used as illustrations for the study because they are from the second half of the century when theatrical conditions had begun to change.

Plimpton, ’76, recently presented to the college a large collection of material relating to the English and American theatre of the nineteenth century. More than 1200 plays are represented in the collection in addition to numerous playbills, programs, libretti, histories, and after-pieces, as well as an autographed photograph of Edwin Booth as Richelieu. The collection seems to have been a part of the extensive theatrical library of Mr. Edward Boltwood of Pittsfield, whose father was born in Amherst in 1839 and moved to Pittsfield in 1870. Mr. Boltwood, although an active member of the Berkshire bar, made the theatre his avocation and found time to write a number of small pieces for the stage, one of which is included in the present collection. He was also instrumental in establishing the William Parke Stock Company in Pittsfield, and continued his connection with this company by writing reviews of its plays.

The moment that we pass out of the Strand, or make our way from the Victoria Embankment into Charing Cross, and wander either westwards through Spring Gardens into St. James‘s Park, or in a south-west direction past Whitehall towards the venerable Abbey of Westminster, we must feel, if we know anything of the history of our country under the Tudors and the Stuarts, that we are treading on ground which is most rich in historic memories. In fact, it may be said without fear of contradiction that the triangular space which lies between the new Palaces of Whitehall and St.

  • A History of the English Puritans

    A History of the English Puritans

    A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PURITANS. BY W. CARLOS MARTYN, AUTHOR OF "THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN MILTON," "A HIS- TORY OF THE HUGUENOTS," AND "THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MARTIN LUTHER." PUBLISHED BY THE AMEKICAN TEACT SOCIETY, 150 NASSAU-STEEET, NEW YORK. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1867, by the American Tract Society, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. PREFACE. This book makes no pretensions. It often falls below what Dryasdust would call "the dignity of history," and is satisfied to be considered simply an accurate daguerreotype of the men and man ners of a heroic past. The English Puritans have always labored un der the disadvantage of which the lion in the fable complained so bitterly. Though they were the con querors, their enemies were the painters. They have come down to us in the distorted lineaments of hostile pencils. If one may borrow the clever illustration of Grainger, the performances of most of their historians remind us of the paintings of Brueghel, who had so accustomed himself to paint witches and imps, that if he tried to paint a man, he was sure to make him like a devil. But it has been well said, that in history the law of optics is reversed : " Our souls much further than our eyes can see." Society now perceives that the Puritans were ear nest, honest, devout men, anxious mainly to inau gurate the regime of vital godliness and of civil lib erty — sub libertate quietem.
