Alexander vs. Loraine 1909

In July 1909 F. M. Alexander successfully sued the actor Robert Loraine for non-payment of lessons. Alexander stated that Loraine had committed himself to a course of 35 lessons with Alexander in March 1909, had had 15 lessons, and did not pay for the remaining 20 lessons. These six newspaper reports also illuminate the fees Alexander – and voice specialists – charged, and contain reports of some of the actors he taught at the time. The appendix contains three almost identical reports from a 1908 court case in which F. M. Alexander was summoned for refusing to pay a cab fare as he believed he was overcharged.
