A book on The Theater, both "backstage" and "the front of the house." We
follow a play from its acceptance for a big theater to its last nights in
rural "stock."
The author, recently of the staff of Winthrop Ames, has learned his
subjects thoroughly during ten years' experience in many theatrical
capacities. Many of these subjects are here treated for the first time in a
book, and most of the others for the first time in their American aspect.
His style is clear and vivid. There are many and unusual illustrations and
a full index. Large 12mo. 400 pp. $2.25 net.
