Description
Excerpt from Herbert Beerbohm Tree: Some Memories of Him and of His Art
Formal and elaborate biographies Of actors are apt to be not the most inspiring kind Of literature._ When Herbert Tree died, it seemed to those who knew him best that Of such a biography he would not have cared to be the subject. There was, however, a clear need that one who had so distinguished himself in his art, and had been in himself so interesting a Character and so unusual a figure, Should not go unrecorded. Off the stage, as on it, he was a man of much variety. He was many-sided, impressing different people in very different ways. And it has seemed that perhaps the best, perhaps indeed the only adequate book about him might be such a book as this is, comprising the views of some different people who had good opportunities for Observing him.
