PLAYHOUSES AND PLAYERS OF EAST ANGLIA. By T. L. G.
Burley. (Jerrold. 5s.)-This is a well-written well-produced book by a Norwich author, who has applied his live interest and ripe experience io the recording of the history of East Anglian theatres from the eighteenth century to the present time. The history of theatrical enter- prise in Norwich alone provides interesting material enough for a single volume, but by a process of selection Mr. Burley has contrived also to include Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, and the smaller towns of Norfolk and Suffolk in his survey. An account of the renowned Madderrnarket Theatre and the patient administration of Mr. Nugent Monck naturally finds a place among the records. There is also a history of the famous Fischer family and the Norfolk and Suffolk Company of Comedians. The book is generously illustrated.
