Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Good Old Gaiety: An Historiette and Remembrance The site Of the Gaiety Theatre - a playhouse that I can take liberties with and will therefore call the dear departed - was not the Offspring Of a fluke. The fluke enters very largely into theatrical affairs, but not in this case. A capitalist, taking his Johnsonian walk up or down Fleet street, was not inspired to say, halloo! Here's a site; let us build a theatre! The dear departed, whatever its faults and merits may have been, was the be-all and end-all Of a deep design. It was an aggregation of properties quietly acquired by a gentleman with brains and money, who was quite able to manage his own affairs, without seeking wisdom (and not Often finding it) in a multitude Of counsels. He was supposed to have an ambition to pose as a music-hall proprietor, the fact having leaked out - (the tank that holds facts is always very leaky), - that he had purchased the Strand Jklusz'c/e Hall, as it was rather affectedly called. This hall, the only one so far east on the road to Temple Bar, was started by Mr. Syers, a gentleman Of education and enterprise, who had been a merchant in the City in a large way Of business. The hall gave itself superior airs. It was inoculated with a disease known at that time - about forty years ago - as the March Of Intellect. Its architecture was a museum Of samples; its decoration was scrofulous its programmes had an educational taint, and it came to the Strand-end Of Catherine street, just as that once riotous thoroughfare began to lose its popularity as the Haymarket Of Central London. Still it was the heart Of a theatrical market, which hardly exists at present. It was surrounded by Old taverns like the Edinburgh Castle, and the Albion - the latter the homely dining-place Of Charles Dickens, vvilkie Collins, and half the blend Of literature and journalism in the 'fifties and 'sixties. The Caves Of Harmony - the Coal Hole, the Cyder Cellars, and Paddy Green's (better known as Evans's were near; the Lyceum was struggling under many lessee ships, some Of them distinguished and all Of them interesting; the Strand Theatre, having given up its position Of jackal to the Insolvent Debtors Court, was nourishing the genius Of Marie Wilton, under the Swanboroughs the Olympic was still the little Olympic - a house with a history. Drury Lane was playing Milton's Camus to twelve pounds a night, as it afterwards played Hamlet (in Italian) to ten pounds (the wrong thing in the right place) the manager trying to make a round peg fill a square hole. The Adelphi was revelling in Toole, Old farce (writ large) and melodrama, soon to be housing Colleen Bawns and Jefferson and Covent Garden was doing nearly everything it was not intended to do under the Davenant Patent Of Charles II.

This book has over 1,183 entries in the dictionary section, these being mainly on playwrights and plays, but others as well including managers and critics, and also on specific theatres, legislative acts and some technical jargon. Then there are entries on the different genres, from comedy to tragedy and everything in between. Inevitably, the chronology is quite long as it has a long period to cover and the introduction provides the necessary overview. The Historical Dictionary of British Theatre: Early Period concludes with a pretty massive bibliography. That will be of use to particularly assiduous researchers, but this book itself is a good place to start any research since it covers periods that are far less well-known and documented, and ordinary theatre-goers will also find useful information.

How did the West End of London become the world's leading pleasure district? What is the source of its magnetic appeal? How did the centre of London become Theatreland? London's West End, 1800-1914 is the first ever history of the area which has enthralled millions. The reader will discover the growth of theatres, opera houses, galleries, restaurants, department stores, casinos, exhibition centres, night clubs, street life, and the sex industry. The area from the Strand to Oxford Street came to stand for sensation and vulgarity but also the promotion of high culture. The West End produced shows and fashions whose impact rippled outwards around the globe. During the nineteenth century, an area that serviced the needs of the aristocracy was opened up to a wider public whilst retaining the imprint of luxury and prestige. Rohan McWilliam tells the story of the great artists, actors and entrepreneurs who made the West End: figures such as Gilbert and Sullivan, the playwright Dion Boucicault, the music hall artiste Jenny Hill, and the American Harry Gordon Selfridge who wanted to create the best shop in the world. At the same time, McWilliam explores the distinctive spaces created in the West End, from the glamour of Drury Lane and Covent Garden, through to low life bars and taverns. We encounter the origins of the modern star system and celebrity culture. London's West End, 1800-1914 moves from the creation of Regent Street to the glory days of the Edwardian period when the West End was the heart of empire and the entertainment industry. Much of modern culture and consumer society was shaped by a relatively small area in the middle of London. This pioneering study establishes why that was.
