Excerpt from Cambridge Dramatic AlbumTN writing in praise of dramatic representa tions, and in the establishment of dramatic so cieties, we are apt to run counter to the notions of the Puritan and the straight-laced moralists of the age. They are eager in denouncing all such amusements, charging them with being satanic in their origin, devilish in their action, and de structive in their results. The poor player is placed beyond the pale of society, his occupation is looked upon with scorn, and the art which is really requisite to obtain a position, is held to be degrading to his manhood. What is applicable to the professional actor, is to a great extent applicable to the amateur, and the amusement which its followers find in its practice, is looked upon as inimical to the morals of society.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
