Lewis Strang

Strang, Lewis C[linton] (1869–1935), critic and author. Born in Westfield, Massachusetts, and educated at Boston University, he took work at the Boston Journal, where he eventually became its drama critic. Later he held a similar position on the Washington Times. At the turn of the century he churned out a spate of books that still hold interest for theatrical historians: Famous Actresses of the Day (1899 and 1902), Famous Actors of the Day (1899 and 1901), Prima Donnas and Soubrettes of Light Opera and Musical Comedy in America (1900), Celebrated Comedians of Light Opera and Musical Comedy in America (1901), and Players and Plays of the Last Quarter Century (1902).
