[Collection of Shakespeare promptbooks] [19--?]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/437528015

Collection of 5 promptbooks compiled by actor Lark Taylor based on the Shakespearian productions of Julia Marlowe and E.H. Sothern in which he took part. The printed text of the plays are from a uniform edition of Shakespeare, but their origins are unclear as all of the identifying information about their publication has been removed from these rebound, interleaved versions created by Taylor. Created at some point probably years after these productions took place, Taylor documents the casts, stage directions and edits for the Southern and Marlow plays he acted in from 1906-1911. He also includes information in two books about the casts and stage directions used in 1887-1900 productions starring Ada Rehan, in which he also acted.
