American Heritage, April, 1972

There was an article which dealt with American theater and here are snippits of that article which dealt with Maude Adams.

(in referring to Charles Frohman)...Two of his first stars were a pair of promising players named John Drew and Maude Adams. ... Maude Adams was never America's greatest actress, but she was certainly its most beloved performer. Her ethereal, moonbeam quality in later plays such as The Little Minister and Peter Pan brought her unmatched popularity and an income of twenty thousand dollars a week.
