Mardi Desjardins & the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team at https://www.pgdpcanada.net from page images generously made available by the Internet Archive "The Old Card" by Roland Pertwee is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Eliphalet Cardomay, a seasoned but somewhat antiquated actor navigating the ups and downs of theatrical life. Through his journey, the novel explores themes of identity, the clash between traditional and modern acting styles, and the complex dynamics of personal relationships within the theater industry. At the start of the narrative, we meet Eliphalet Cardomay as he arrives in a provincial town, greeted with both reverence and humor by those who recognize him. He is set to perform in a significant London production, which fills him with both excitement and trepidation. The opening portion introduces us to his character as an old-school thespian, established but struggling to adapt to the more contemporary expectations of theater. Eliphalet's interactions with his dresser and the townsfolk present a blend of nostalgia and comedy, setting the stage for the challenges he will face in this new chapter of his career, ultimately revolving around a dramatic opportunity that may either elevate or derail him.
