Excerpt from Play Production in America

Upon the title-page I have placed a quotation from John Philip Sousa's speech on subsidy, published some years ago in the Paris Herald. This is to remind a reading public, that has lately been presented with a number of excellent works dealing almost exclusively with the theaters of Eu rope, that American playhouses also have made decided advance, although, perhaps, along different lines. But while this book is essentially American, it is presented, in this connection, mainly to remark America's contribution to international development. I cannot reiterate too often that there cannot be a protective tariff placed around art. Any thing worth while that this country is doing in the theater belongs to the world.
