Excerpt from Wit and Humor of the Stage: A Collection From Various Sources Clasified Under Appropriate Subject Headings
Since all the world's a stage, and men and women merely puppets thereon, playing their mimic parts, - vide a certain great dramatist named William Shakespeare, - it follows that there should be an audience and readers for a collection of humoresques culled from the sayings and doings of plays and players, for in no other age has the theatre filled so large a canvas in the eye of the public as now.
The actor, of either gender, apparently, cannot escape from the lime-light, whether on or off the stage. His - or her - sayings and doings, professional or private, are minutely chronicled and avidly read by the dear public, and every performer of any prominence really plays to a far wider audience than he reaches across the footlights.
