Stage Fright Among Historic Actors and a Tale of First Night Dread
The piece recalls stage fright among classic actors at the Old Adelphi and across theaters, with examples from Keeleys to Mrs. Kendal and John Parry. It recounts a memorable Richard II incident, prompter guidance, and a novice’s miscue on cue. The narrative shifts to Pennsylvania timber for building and to the iron steamer Norman Monarch arriving in New Haven with Arabian stallions gifted to Grant by the Sultan of Turkey.
