Ask some veteran theatergoer "What was Booth like as Hamlet?"
"Seeing Things at Night"
Heywood Broun
Perhaps the face of the old theatergoer will grow animated and Booth may live again for a moment in his mind, but we who have never seen Booth will never know anything about him.
"Seeing Things at Night"
Heywood Broun
This effort was fortunate for all concerned-for the dramatist and for the actor, but especially for the spectator, who became accustomed to give an imaginative interpretation and setting to a play that would mean little to a modern theatergoer.
