A periodical named "Our Players' Gallery" first appeared in 1900. The title was changed to "Theatre" in 1901, and to "Theatre Magazine" in 1917, under which title it continued publication until April 1931. A splendid source of information on the still developing art of theatre in New York City, the magazine covered all aspects of the stage: interviews with actors and actresses, commentaries by playwrights and critics, highlights of current plays with summaries and photographs, and onstage fashion. The magazine was respected in its time for its contributions from prominent critics and actors.

The periodical is beautifully illustrated with elegant portraits and attractive advertisements, many of them for fashion. [Information from the virtual newsstand project of the University of West Florida].

The editor of the magazine, Arthur Hornblow [1865-1942 was an English-born playwright and critic who moved to America in 1889. He was a staff member of the Dramatic Mirror and a play reader for A. M. Palmer before editing Theatre from 1901 to 1926. He was the author of "A History of the Theatre in America, from Its Beginnings to the Present Time" [1919].

The cover photo of this issue is of Emmy Wehlen in "Marriage a la Carte". There is another full-page photo of Wehlen in this piece with C. Morton Horne in the body of the magazine. Wehlen [1877-1977] was a German-born musical comedy and silent film actress. She began her career in Stuttgart but soon moved to New York and opened in the musical comedy 'Marriage a la Carte" in January 1911. She disappeared from the public eye in her thirties.

The title page photo is a splendid shot of Maude Adams in full cock regalia in Rostand's "Chantecleer". There are further pictures of the production in the magazine. Among the articles are 'The Art of Mary Garden" and "A Chat with Julia Marlowe and Susan B. Anthony". Good .
