Born in New York in 1861, John Cort entered the field of stage management not so much by choice but by consolation. Although he had spent upwards of 10 years perfecting his craft as an actor, his efforts revealed little future for him in the footlights. "John Cort was once an actor," local drama critic J. Willis Sayre wrote in 1907, "but he never shows the press notices to anybody" (Sayre).
