What reading level is Amateur Theatricals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another reason for having a good, and firm stage-manager is that he may determine the cast of the parts. Each actor naturally aspires to the first part, and is distressed if he is kept in the background. Personal appearance must also be consulted, and this is a tender point. If the principal character in the piece is a dashing young man, it is absurd to give it to a stout, middle- aged man, however well he may act, and all the more absurd because of the difficulty in " making up " for a drawing...-room play ; then again when the heroine, is a young lady whose beauty is much commented on in the play, it is cruel to deliver her into the hands of a woman of fifty.
It is not uncommon for a person gifted virith a comical appearance and voice to insist that his strong point is pathos, and it requires considerable skill and even eloquence on the part of the stage- manager to persuade him that he is in error.
