| Title |
Two Patterns of Touring in Canada: 1896 to 1914
|
| Abstract |
In the decades immediately preceding the First World War, cities in Canada were regular stops on the American commercial theatrical touring system. Acting companies were sent from New York by major producers and integrated two types of stops into their routes - those booked directly by the producers and those booked via entrepreneurs who operated their own circuits of theatres. The author outlines the history of Entertainment Ltd., a corporation with both New York owners (the Shubert brothers) and an Ontario owner (Lawrence Solman), which operated the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto and, from 1909, the Princess Theatre in Montreal.
