| Summary | "Empty Chairs" by Squire Bancroft is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book reflects on the lives and friendships of notable people who have shared the author's life, capturing their essence through remembrances of shared experiences at the author's table. The opening of "Empty Chairs" introduces the concept of nostalgia as Bancroft reminisces about various notable guests, beginning with King Edward VII, whom he considers a dear friend and supporter of the theatrical arts. The text evokes a sense of warmth and fondness, as Bancroft recounts personal anecdotes involving the King, including their interactions during the theatrical performances he managed and the royal patronage that helped to uplift the stage. Through these reflections, the reader is invited into a world of cultural significance, friendships, and the enduring impact of these relationships on Bancroft's life.
