EXTRACTS FROM PRESS REVIEWS
_OUTLOOK_
"One of the most interesting theatrical records that has been penned for
some time."
_MORNING ADVERTISER_
"A charming work.... Pithy and well arranged. Turned out with infinite
credit to the publishers."
_SCOTSMAN_
"It leaves an impression like that of a piece in which the Kendals have
played, an impression of pleasure, refinement, refreshment, and of the
value of cherishing sweet and kindly feelings in art as in life. Few
books can do that, and so this work has every prospect of being widely
read."
_DRAMATIC WORLD_
"Full of interesting information, delightfully told, and illustrated by
a succession of charming photographs."
_WESTMINSTER GAZETTE_
"We would recommend this account of the Kendals' art to all who take an
interest in the theatre."

hitherto to be found within the covers of any single publication. The

happiest theatrical associations are connected with these distinguished
and typical artists."

reading."
