Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Stage Door, Vol. 1: Stories of Actors and of Stage Life Behind the Scenes Stage life is interesting to most people who are not on the stage. That is the only reason for printing these sketches in book form. Written day by day for the columns of a newspaper they lack finish and exact accuracy. If the stories told of actors are found to be "good stories," if they throw any light on that fascinating mystery which lies "behind the scenes," they have served their only purpose. Unless they may also serve to show, for the benefit of "stage struck" young people, that the actor, like most other men, must as David Belasco says, "scratch his way through a mountain to success."
