Description
1870 1ed American Theater Acting Opera Before the Footlights by Olive Logan
Olive Logan was a 19th-century American actress who has become much more famous for her books on theater rather than her acting itself. Following a short stage career, Logan pursued journalism seeking to highlight the theater and shows for which she had such a passion. Perhaps the best example of this was her book “Before the Footlights and Behind the Scenes”. This book, as the title suggests, is
“a book about the show business in all its branches from puppet shows to grand opera, from mountebanks to menageries, from learned pigs to lecturers, from burlesque blondes to actors and actresses… thus exhibiting the show world as seen from within.”
