THE COUNTESS AND THE DANCER: Or High Life in Vienna. A Comedy Drama in Four Acts. Altered from a masterpiece of Victorien Sardou by Charles Reade. London: 1883. 1 vol. Demy 8vo (5½ × 8⅜). Pp. vi + 60. Grey paper wrappers, printed in black; wording as title-page.
NOTE
The bibliography of Reade's plays is obscure and confusing. I have listed in the foregoing pages only those of the printed issue of which I have found certain evidence. He is known, however, to have written many more, some at least of which were probably printed privately. Wherefore it seems desirable here to supply such particulars as can be found of the writing and acting of Reade's other plays. The facts are taken mainly from Coleman's book, which contains as an appendix a good list of titles and dates of production. Unfortunately the book itself is so confusingly put together that text and appendix are far from complementary and at times even in conflict.
