Nice condition antique copy of "Old Boston Museum Days" by Kate Ryan. 1915 1st edition; Little, Brown, and Company; Boston. The book features numerous black & white photographs.
The Contents are as follows: Early History of the Boston Museum; My First Visit to the Boston Museum; William Warren; Mrs. J.R. Vincent; Miss Annie M. Clarke; Charles Barron; Salad Days; Three Comedians; The Two Reliables; "Pinafore" Days; Famous Stars; The Younger Generation; Yesterday and Today.
From the Foreword: "In writing this little volume, I have lived over again the days of the Old Museum, and as I recalled the faces and forms that peopled the stage of that famous old playhouse, I must confess to moments of sorrow recompensed by hours of joy. I doubt that even the most philosophical spirit, with never a tear or a regret for the past, could delve into its recesses as I have done, without a longing for the Old Museum days that are gone. Yet the memory of those days will leave, for all time, something of value to remember and cherish."

Clean back cover and spine; there is a small, barely noticeable stain at the bottom-left corner of the front cover; sharp corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages.

Small bookshop label affixed to the front end paper. Overall the book is in very good condition.

Short September, 1915, gift inscription to previous owner from a friend at top of title page, and that owner's name and date (two weeks later) on free front endpaper.
