Herewith is given a book that
abounds with biographies of the best
known actresses of the English and
American stage to-day. Continental
actresses who have international repu-
tations are likewise included as being
of interest to the English-speaking
public. and in the last chapter are
grouped those American actresses who
have made distinct contributions to
our stage, but, in the opinion of the
author. insufficient to qualify them for
a full chapter devoted exclusively to
their biographies.

acters of these women upon whom the
quality of our theaters has depended
