Excerpt from An Actor's Notebooks: Being Some Memories, Friendships Criticisms and Experiences of Frank Archer The author of this volume has not attempted to de scribe fully his theatrical career, although much of it is in the nature of an autobiography; it is a record rather of a few of the gifted and interesting people with whom he has had the good fortune to come into contact. Most of it was compiled before the attractive volume of his old friends and managers, Sir Squire and Lady Bancroft, came into his hands. A few of the details necessarily touch on incidents of which they have treated, but it cannot render their pleasant book of less value.
