History of the New York Stage (1902, 1903, 1903)[edit]
As early as 1893, while working on the book, Brown asserted that the first dramatic performance in New York occurred in 1732, not 1752, as was published in the 1797 books in 2 volumes, History of the American Theatre, by William Dunlap (1766–1839) and John Hodgkinson (1766–1805).
- He announced in 1893 that the work would be published in 2 volumes. He completed a publishable version of the work in 1895, but lacked subscribers.

| Notes about the collection benefactors | |
| Stanford: | Barrett Harper Clark (1890–1953) was a literary editor of the Samuel French, Inc., from 1918 to 1936. He had also been executive director of the Dramatists Play Service. He was regarded an authority on drama and the theater stage. Clark studied at the University of Chicago from 1908 to 1912, spending two years in Paris, but did not complete his degree. A manuscript note in the front of the book of volume 1 indicates that Clark, on March 17, 1937, purchased the book from vaudeville performer Gus Hill (1858–1937), thirty-four days before his death. |
| Indiana: | Evert Jansen Wendell (1860–1917) (Harvard College, class of 1882) was acclaimed as one of the foremost collectors of theatrical literature, posters, pictures, and the like. He was the brother of Barrett Wendell (1855–1921), a Harvard English professor. Archibald Cary Coolidge, Director of the Harvard Library, stated in Harvard's Annual Report of 1917–18 that Wendell's donation was the largest gift of books in college's history.[5] William Bird van Lennep, Phd (1906–1962) – drama teacher, librarian, and curator of Harvard's Theatre Collection – estimated Wendells' bequest to be 2 million items: 600,000 playbills, 350,000 photographs, 200,000 books, and over 8,000 manuscripts.[6][7] |
| Harvard: | Acquired around 1928 from the fund of Charles Minot (1810–1866) (Harvard College, class of 1828) |
| Harvard: | Frank Eugene Chase (1856–1920) (Harvard College, class of 1876) had been the theater critic for the Boston Courier from 1885 to 1899. |
| Cornell: | Benno Loewy (de) (1854–1919) was a German-born American lawyer based in New York. He was an 1874 graduate of the Columbia Law School. Loewy had amassed one of the largest private libraries in the United States, comprising about 53,000 volumes. He also had collected about 56 volumes of photos of actors and artists. He died from injuries after being struck by a truck in Manhattan at Central Park West and 68th Street. Loewy bequeathed his library to Cornell, which included an endowment of $250,000 (equivalent to about 4.39 million US dollars in 2023). His widow, (née Isabella Koehler; 1859–1944), challenged the will. Under New York State law, a testator may not bequeath more than 50% of his estate to a charitable institution if there is a surviving widow. Isabella Loewy prevailed, however, she agreeed to give this library to Cornell. In February 1924, the entire collection was transported to Cornell in three freight cars. Loewy's will listed a sucession of other institutions, should Cornell decline to accept the conditions, which included Johns Hopkins and Stanford, but expressly barred Yale, Columbia, and Harvard. |
