Ballantyne & Co., London, 1907; First Edition Privately Printed; 8vo, 16 pages. Essay by Arthur Symons lamenting the dearth of native acting talent in Britain, reserving his highest praise for visiting Americans Edward H. Sothern and wife Julia Marlowe, whose Shakesperean talents he holds above reproach. "There is no actor on our stage who can speak either English or verse as these two Americans can.... Who is there on our stage who has completely mastered the first two requirements of acting? No one now acting in English except Julia Marlowe and Edward Sothern." Symons then goes on to cite examples from the couple’s recent performances in Romeo and Juliet , Hamlet., and Twelfth Night. Very Good Plus, in printed stiff wraps. Edward H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe’s engraved bookplate affixed. Pages unopened. A significant tribute, linking the British and American stages. Rare.
