Synopsis

A witty tour of the theater world, seen from a reporter’s eye and filled with behind‑the‑curtain moments. The book surveys the business, the stages, and the people who make Broadway run, with humor and a practical feel for how productions really come together.

This collection offers readable glimpses into rehearsals, stage craft, and the daily life of actors, managers, and critics. It captures a bustling era on Forty‑second Street and Broadway, mixing anecdote with a clear sense of how the business works.

- How rehearsals shape performances and why careful direction matters
- The social world of theaters, clubs, and the people who populate them
- Insights into production logistics, offices, and the theater’s daily grind
- A frank, amused take on the clash between artistry and industry

Ideal for readers who enjoy backstage views of early American theater and sharp, observant writing about the stage.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
