Description: History of the Hallams, one of the earliest professional theatrical troupes to perform in America.
This document was written by Arthur Hornblow and originally published in A History of the Theatre in America, Vol. 1 . Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott Company, 1919. pp. 66-87. Meantime the eyes of shrewd English theatre managers and actors turned longingly in the direction of America. Glowing, if not altogether truthful, accounts of the success of John Moody's company of players in the West Indies had circulated along London's Rialto. The Colonies were well populated, highly prosperous, and growing rapidly in importance. Such a country might well become the players' Eldorado!
