From the book Players and Plays of the Last Quarter Century: An Historical Summary of Causes and a Critical Review of Conditions as Existing in the American Theatre at the Close of the Nineteenth Century by Lewis C. Strang volume 1: The Theatre of Yesterday 1903

"In their especial, though somewhat restricted lines, players like N.C.Goodwin, John Drew, and Maude Adams-to mention three of the leading exponents in the American theatre-have probably never been excelled."
