About this Item

A scarce biography of Mrs Brookfield Illustrated with full page engravings throughout Charles Hallam Elton Brookfield (19 May 1857 20 October 1913) was a British actor, author, playwright and journalist, including for The Saturday Review. His most famous work for the theatre was The Belle of Mayfair (1906). Brookfield achieved success in a 20-year acting career, including with the company of Squire Bancroft at London's Haymarket Theatre in the 1880s. After he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, in 1898, Brookfield focused on writing plays and musical theatre. In his last years, he was Britain's Examiner of Plays, even though he had been criticised as biased against various playwrights and also for writing a particularly risqué comedy in 1908. He and his wife together wrote Mrs Brookfield and her Circle. In original cloth binding. Externally rubbed with bumping and wear to the head and tail of the spine. Internally generally firmly bound. Pages are spotted. Good Only. Seller Inventory # GEN33-G-14
