Excerpt from Sixty Years' Stage Service: Being a Record of the Life of Charles Morton, "the Father of the Halls" To my dear brother William, who has always been an ardent collector of facts concerning my various business ventures, I tender my thanks for his help in this narra tion of my public services, and to Mr. H. Chance Newton I am also greatly indebted for the trouble he has taken in the preparation of this volume for the press. Long past the Psalmist's life-limit, I yet feel as though the pith and marrow of my intelligence, and the dis criminating faculty of catering for the million, show no trace of waning power, and although I may scarcely dare to hope that my biographers will, in any future edition, be able to add much to what has been written herein, I feel as though the final chapter were farther off now than I could have reasonably supposed it to be twenty years ago.
