American Stage

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or stage:

    In a moment when criticism shows a singular dearth of direction every man has to be a law unto himself in matters of theatre, writing, and painting. While the American Mercury and the new Ford continue to spread a thin varnish of Ritz over the whole United States there is a certain virtue in being unfashionable.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    I sometimes think when I’m on the stage “What do they mean? Is this great, what I’m doing now?”
    Dame Edith Evans (1888–1976)
