FOOTNOTES:

[1] And, preëminently, William Winter, who was not only the friend but in many instances the guide, adviser, and assistant of all those managers, as well as of many others: no other single person has ever, directly and indirectly, exerted a greater or more unselfish influence for the good of the Theatre than that of Winter.--J. W.

[2] Whence derived I do not know: obviously, it was not written by Mr. Winter,--but it is accurate.--J. W.

[3] The first recorded instance of a theatre lighted throughout by electricity is that of the Savoy, in London, 1882,--but I think it probable that practical stage lighting by electricity had been achieved in this country at an earlier date. Electric light was used to illumine a cyclorama in Paris, France, as early as 1857,--but that, of course, was light from a primitive arc lamp.

[4] At which time Mr. H. Granville Barker was two years old!--J. W.

[5] In the original cast: this character was cut out of the play before the New York opening.

[6] Several other names could appropriately be added to that list--notably, those of Willard Mack (whose play of “Tiger Rose” owes its extraordinary success entirely to the revision and stage management of Belasco and the remarkably interesting and sympathetic acting of Miss Lenore Ulric), George Middleton, and Guy Bolton. Messrs. Middleton and Bolton figure as authors of “Polly with a Past,”--which, though it is an extremely slender farce, was one of the few substantial successes of the current (1917-’18) theatrical season: it was entirely reshaped and made practicable by Belasco.--J. W.

[7] Lester Wallack’s last appearance on the stage occurred May 29, 1886, at the Grand Opera House, New York, and Wallack’s Company was then disbanded. He was born January 1, 1820, and died September 6, 1888. He surrendered his theatre into the hands of Theodore Moss in 1887, being then sixty-seven years old. Moss had a considerable part in the management of Wallack’s Theatre for several years before that.

Beerbohm-Tree, referred to above as “Belasco’s only competitor,” died, July 2, 1917, in his sixty-fourth year. He was five months younger than Belasco was at that time.
