CALVERT, LOUIS

Problems of the Actor. With an Introduction by Clayton Hamilton (from the Library of Robert Loraine, Actor & Aeronaut)

New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1918. First Edition; First Impression. Original gilt decorated blindstamped cloth. Stamped: "London Agent Leonard Calvert 77, Elgin Avenue" twice on front pastedown. Slight soiling to front endpapers. Light foxing to edges. Slight wear & slight soiling to spine, covers & corners. ; Robert Loraine (1876–1935) was a British actor and aviator who made significant contributions to both the worlds of theater and aviation. Born on January 14, 1876, in New Brighton, Cheshire, England, Loraine initially pursued a career in the military. He served in the British Army and later became interested in aviation. Loraine gained fame not only for his acting skills but also for his achievements in aviation. He became the first person to make a live parachute jump from an airplane in 1913. This daring feat added to his reputation as an adventurous and multi-talented individual. In the realm of acting, Robert Loraine had a successful career on both sides of the Atlantic. He appeared in numerous stage productions, including several Shakespearean plays. His notable roles include performances in "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "If I Were King." Loraine was known for his strong stage presence and his ability to capture the audience's attention. When World War I broke out, Loraine once again took on a military role and served as a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps. After the war, he continued his acting career and also became involved in aviation ventures. Unfortunately, Robert Loraine's life was cut short in a tragic plane crash. On December 23, 1935, his aircraft crashed in the English Channel, resulting in his death at the age of 59. Despite the tragic end to his life, Loraine is remembered for his pioneering contributions to aviation and his successful career as a stage actor. ; 19.2 x 13.3 x 3.1 cms; xxviii, 274, (2) pages.
