The Selections and Their Authors

Chapter One
1. A single copy of Androboros exists, in the Huntington Library. Photostat
copies of that original are in several libraries.
2. Durang The Philadelphia Stage from the Year 1749 to the Year 1855 was
published in the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch in 1854, 1856, and 1860. It was
never published in book form. This selection is from the copy in the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Library, arranged and illustrated in seven volumes by
Thompson Westcott, vol. 1, pp. 2-5.
Charles Durang ( 1794- 1870), dancer, pantomimist, actor, stage manager, danc-
ing teacher, author, and critic, perhaps secured this account of the Comedians
from London from Lewis Hallam when they appeared together at the South-
wark Theatre in the summer of 1807. However, the information may have
come through Charles's father, John Durang ( 1768- 1822), who had made his
debut as a dancer with the Old American Company in 1784 and thereafter
frequently performed on the same stage with Lewis Hallam. John Durang was
the first American-born dancer to gain recognition on our stage and during
his career of thirty-five years was not only dancer but also ballet master, pan-
tomimist, puppeteer, actor, and manager.
3. Information about the Richmond, England, theatre is from Sybil Rosenfeld
, The XVIII Century Theatre at Richmond, Yorkshire, York Georgian
Society, Occasional Paper no. 3 ( Ben Johnston and Company, York and Lon-
don, 1927).
4. The letter was first published in Benson J. Lossing, Life and Times of
Philip Schuyler, 2 vols. ( Mason Brothers, New York, 1860), vol. 1, pp. 68-69.
