Title: American theatre periodicals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
Description: "Periodicals from 1805-1929 that were issued in Baltimore, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and St. Louis.  While they cover mainstream theater in Boston, New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, many of them also reviewed vaudeville, magic, and opera productions.  In addition to reviews of productions, the biographical sketches, interviews with actors and actresses, pictures, theater listings, and advertisements found in these periodicals all provide an important source for studying the history of the American stage"--The Library of Congress Guide to the Microform Collections in the Humanities and Social Sciences Division, online version.
