Backwoods Theater Tales and Oddities From The Era
A noted actor Yankee Hill recalls early American theater in New York where audiences remained silent and unmoved by a performance. Peruvian rain, Andean moisture, and wind patterns are explained by a Dakota lawyer in a humorous note. A replevin case ends with a judge misreading the affidavit. A jewelers’ sting uncovers a thieves’ society among youth. Actor Woode, once a Western villain, retires to a Unitarian ministry in Louisville.
