A National Theatre Scheme And Estimates PDF Download

Excerpt from A National Theatre: Scheme Estimates This book was compiled and privately printed in the year 1904. We need not enter into our reasons for not publishing it at that date: it is sufficient that they have now ceased to operate. In drawing up the following Estimates we had the assistance of many expert advisers. Most of those leaders of the theatrical profession who signed the declaration on the previous page, not only read the book in proof, but favoured us with many criticisms and suggestions which are embodied in the text as it now stands. Among our other advisers, those to whom we owe special acknowledgments are: Mr. Robert Courtneidge, Miss Edith Craig, Mr. Walter Harm, Mr. Ian Robertson, and Mr. Horace Watson. We are deeply indebted to them for information placed at our disposal; but they are of course in no way responsible for the deductions we have drawn from it, or for the general scheme into which it has been woven. It is a source of pleasure and pride to us that the list of those who gave their sanction to our scheme should be headed by the name of Sir Henry Irving.
