Excerpt from the Introduction: "Fifty years? Impossible! Fifty years in the 'world of make-believe,' as I have heard it called. But it is not a world of make-believe, this world of the stage; it is a world of stern realities; a world of work, of struggle, effort, study, gain, loss, failure and of success. A human world of strength and of weakness; a world beautified by imagination, illuminated by fancy and glorified by truth. A world of tender sympathies, generous thoughts and close fellowship. ... Such has been my world, and as, in retrospect, I look back over the bygone years, I see the faces that have passed, I hear the voices that are stilled, and live again in scenes of other days, some bright with hope and pleasure, some saddened by pain and disappointment, but all mellowed by the ripening hand of time and stored away in the chambers of fondest memory.".
