The Edwin Booth Promptbook Collection at the Players: A Descriptive Catalog
View through CrossRef
For several years Edwin Booth had nurtured the idea of establishing an American counterpart to England's famous Garrick Club in London, and by January of 1888, when he had focused the idea well enough to broach the subject formally, he invited fifteen friends to become its “Incorporators,” among them such representatives of the arts and letters as Brander Matthews, Laurence Hutton, and Samuel L. Clemens. Within the year the idea became reality, and The Players Club at 16 Gramercy Park in New York was officially opened.
