NICHOLSON, WATSON. Anthony Aston, stroller and adventurer. *$1.25 The author, South Haven, Mich.
20–19783
This brief monograph forms a footnote to stage history. Little has been known of Tony Aston, the author says, “save that he was a strolling player for many years, the author of an unsuccessful play and the much more important Brief supplement to Colley Cibber’s apology.” An autobiographical sketch which he happened upon in the British museum in 1914 has been made the basis of Mr Nicholson’s account. This sketch is appended, as is the “Brief supplement.”
