American theatrical manager and dramatist AUGUSTIN DALY
(1838-1899) is best known as the operator of Daly's Theatre on
Broadway, where he presented noted productions of Shakespearean comedies.
Daly, a drama critic for several New York City newspapers from 1859, made
his debut as a manager with his melodrama, Under the Gaslight, his
first play that was not an adaptation of another work. Daly, who also
adopted plays from French and German, opened his first theater in 1869, and
would reign as the "autocrat of the stage" for some thirty years in both
New York and London. A strict disciplinarian who set high standards of
production for his "company of stars", including John Drew, Clara Morris
and Ada Rehan, Daly was a biographer as well as a playwright. Irish-born
American stage actress ADA REHAN (1859-1916), known for her comic skills,
was featured in acting companies of major Eastern cities, and toured Europe to
acclaim. Her noted performances including several of Shakespeare's comedies,
the role of Maid Marian in Tennyson's Foresters, and that of Roxanne in
the Daly Theater's Cyrano de Bergerac. Notched and creased on left
edge. Toned. Ink transfer on verso. Slight surface creases. Otherwise, fine
