Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Drama, Vol. 1: A Guide to the Plays, Playwrights, Players, and Playhouses of the United Kingdom and America, From the Earliest Times to the Present; A-G
Theatrical managers, as the producers of plays and operas, necessarily figure here; as do the leading scenic artists and musical composers, the latter ranging from the writers of operas and operettas to the providers of incidental numbers for plays. Most of the musicians included are English or American; but mention is also made of foreigners whose works have been produced with English librettos on one side or other of the Atlantic.
Writers on the subject of the Theatre generally, or of plays and players particularly, receive due attention; and side by Side with the historians, biographers, and critics will be found the pamphleteers and satirists in prose and verse.
