EXTRACTS FROM PRESS REVIEWS
OUTLOOK
"One of the most interesting theatrical records that has been penned for some time."
MORNING ADVERTISER
"A charming work.... Pithy and well arranged. Turned out with infinite credit to the publishers."
SCOTSMAN
"It leaves an impression like that of a piece in which the Kendals have played, an impression of pleasure, refinement, refreshment, and of the value of cherishing sweet and kindly feelings in art as in life. Few books can do that, and so this work has every prospect of being widely read."
DRAMATIC WORLD
"Full of interesting information, delightfully told, and illustrated by a succession of charming photographs."
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE
"We would recommend this account of the Kendals' art to all who take an interest in the theatre."

FOOTNOTES:

[1] Fechter did not discard that soliloquy, but expressed to Lester Wallack, who mentioned it to William Winter, his opinion that the omission of that passage would be advantageous to the movement of the play; and he always spoke it as if it were prose.

[2] Here is another proof of a fact I have already emphasised, i.e. Ellen Terry's invariable and sweet unselfishness.

[3] This was written for, and appeared in, an evening paper.

Transcriber Notes:
P.68. 'alchoholic' changed to 'alcoholic' in 'somewhat alcoholic'.
P.86' 'Ilseworth' changed to 'Isleworth' according to map referenced of the area.
P.109. 'callid' changed to 'called' in 'called "L'Aieule."'.
P.268. 'beeing' changed to 'being' in 'being deeply interested'.
Fixed various punctuation.
