Notes
- ↑ The Players Club, built in 1847 and founded by Edwin Booth, the actor and brother of the assassin of President Lincoln, still exists at 16 Gramercy Park in New York. According to a Wikipedia entry, members of the Players originally included the local pillars of society of the day, prominent bankers, lawyers and businessmen, as well as those identified with other arts - writers, journalists, sculptors, architects and painters. Today it serves as a social club but is also a repository of American and British theatre history, memorabilia, and theatrical artifacts.
