Moses, Montrose Jonas. Famous actor families in America. **$2. Crowell.
Beginning with the Booths, the author has given a series of delightful sketches and stories of the Jeffersons, the Drews, the Barrymores, the Sotherns, the Hollands, the Hacketts, the Wallacks, the Boucicaults, the Davenports and the Powers. In connection with them many other noted names are dealt with, and the whole is illustrated with 40 full page plates and provided with a valuable bibliography. The volume is both authoritative and interesting and will appeal to theatre-goers, playwrights, critics, and readers in general.
