Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. ACTING MANAGER MR BRAM STOKER [ AUTHOR OF DRACULA ] - ORIGINAL VERY GOOD THEATRE PROGRAMME FROM 1883 : 4 sided beige printed sheet - W. S. Johnson (Printer); in clean condition, a few minor spots/surface folds { flattened }, some tone to top corners p.4. a Melodrama altered from the French by Charles Reade, is founded on a celebrated trial which took place in France under the Directory, the main feature of which was the resemblance of an innocent man (Lesurques) to a murderer and robber (Dubosc). THE FRIENDSHIP OF HENRY IRVING AND BRAM STOKER : Henry Irving and Bram Stoker enjoyed a relationship which patently worked. Irving provided the star power and the driving force, Bram a bottomless well of loyalty and the administrative capability to keep the show on the road. Their comradeship was without friction or rancour and they remained on good terms for twenty-seven years. In the Lyceum programmes Mr Henry Irving was always on the front page as Sole Lessee and Manager. Bram would be listed, on page three or four, well down the pecking order as Acting Manager, after the likes of H J Loveday (Stage Manager) and Meredith Ball (Musical Director). With no standing in the creative hierarchy Bram was perhaps lucky to be mentioned at all. Nevertheless he threw himself into his duties, writing some fifty to sixty letters a day. Here's the Chicago Daily News in 1888: Mr Irving's great success in this country has been due to a very considerable extent to the shrewd management of Bram Stoker. We know of no manager more vigilant, more indefatigable, more audacious than he. He knows how to make friends, how to keep them, and how to utilize them. At all times he has an eye to business, yet he is always to all a careless, cordial man of the world. In the manipulation of Mr Irving's intricate and enormous business he exhibits a coolness, a shrewdness, and an enthusiasm that are simply masterful, Irving is fortunate in having so able and so loyal an associate.'.

154 pp. 10-7/8" x 8-1/2" Ade "was an American writer, syndicated newspaper columnist, and playwright who gained national notoriety at the turn of the 20th century with his 'Stories of the Streets and of the Town', a column that used street language and slang to describe daily life in Chicago, and a column of his fables in slang, which were humorous stories that featured vernacular speech and the liberal use of capitalization in his characters' dialog. After Ade's newspaper columns went into syndication in 1900, he began writing plays. His first play produced for the Broadway stage was The Sultan of Sulu, a comic opera about the American military's efforts to assimilate natives of the Philippines into American culture. Written in 1901 with composer Nathaniel D. Mann and lyricist Alfred George Whathall, it was produced on Broadway in 1902. His other works for Broadway include Peggy from Paris (1903), a musical comedy; The County Chairman (1903), a piece about small-town politics; The Sho-Gun (1904), a musical set in Korea; and The College Widow (1904), a comedy about college life and American collegiate football.
