Other plays in which Belasco has performed,--as I have ascertained from newspaper advertisements or notices and from miscellaneous records, without, however, finding specification of the parts in them which he acted,--include “A Bull in a China Shop,” “Damon and Pythias,” “The French Spy,” “A Hard Struggle,” “The Lone Pine,” “Mazeppa,” “Medea,” “Mimi,” “Nobody’s Child,” “Pizarro,” and “The Red Pocketbook.” I have no doubt that he made unrecorded and now unremembered appearances in many other plays besides these. To the catalogue previously given of readings and recitations frequently employed by Belasco should be added “Tell Me Not in Mournful Numbers,” “The Maiden’s Prayer,” “Little Jim, the Collier’s Lad,” “Scenes from ’King Louis XI.,’” “Shamus O’Brien,” “The Little Hero,” “No One to Love Him,” “The Trial Scene, from ’The Merchant of Venice,’” “Selections from ’Oliver Twist’” (the scene on London Bridge, scene wherein _Fagin_ causes _Sikes_ to murder _Nancy_, and _Fagin_ awaiting execution), “The Country Bumpkin’s Courtship,” “Eliza,” “The Dream of Eugene Aram,” and “Jim Bludso.” BELASCO’S “THE STORY OF MY LIFE.” In making a critical examination of Belasco’s “The Story of My Life,”--a document which, of course, it has been necessary for me to consult in writing this Memoir,--I have observed many misstatements of fact in it, due to defective memory or to haste and heedlessness in composition, and also the assertion of various erroneous notions and mistaken doctrines as to the art of acting, and as to the difference in the practice of that art between the customs of the present and the past. Turning to that “Story” in the expectation that it would prove helpful, I found only another specimen of the irresponsible writing which is deemed permissible relative to the Theatre, and viewing its formidable array of misstatements I have ruefully recalled the remark of Artemus Ward that “it is better not to know so many things than to know so many things that ain’t so.” Some of its errors I have specified and rectified, in other places, in the course of this narrative. Others of its errors and some of its errant notions and doctrines require passing reference here.
